warm or cool air is ready to flow.
● Cool air may flow to the area around the upper body when the heater is
on.
■ Using the system in recirculated air mode
The windows will fog up more easily if the recirculated air mode is used for
an extended period.
■ When the “ECO HEAT/COOL” mode is canceled
●The temperature control is set at “LO” (the lowest temperature) or “HI”
(the highest temperature).
● The air flow is set in the floor/windshield mode or windshield mode.

Recirculated air mode or outside air mode may be automatically switched to
in accordance with the temperature setting and the inside temperature.

■Air conditioning odors
●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter
into and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause
odor to be emitted from the vents.
● To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time immediately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic
mode.
■ Windshield air flow button
When the “POWER” switch is set at ON mode after the 12-volt battery is
reconnected, the indicator light on the button may flash and a motor sound
may be heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
■ Plasmacluster *
This air conditioning system adopts plasmacluster technology, which helps
to keep good air quality in the cabin by emitting positive and negative ions
through the driver's side vent.
A slight noise may be heard during operation. This is not a malfunction. Also,
static electricity may be discharged near the driver's side vent due to the
high voltage used to operate the system.
To clean the drive's side vent, turn the system off and wipe the vent using a
soft cloth.
*: Plasmacluster technology is manufactured under license from the SHARP Corporation.
“Plasmacluster ” is a trademark of the SHARP Corporation.
