heated air.
The air conditioning system switches between individual and syn chro-
nized modes each time is pressed.
Synchronized modes (indicator on):
The driver’s side
dial can be used to adjust the temperature for
the driver’s and front passenger’s side. At this time, operate the front
passenger’s side
dial to enter individual mode.
Individual modes (indicator off):
The temperature for the driver’s and front passenger’s side can be
adjusted separately.

ates.
■S-FLOW mode
In S-FLOW mode, priority for the airflow is given to the front seats,
reducing the airflow and air conditioning effect on the rear se ats.
The system determines whether or not a front passenger is in the
vehicle by the opening and closing of the front passenger’s door.
When a front passenger is determined not to be in the vehicle, the
temperature indicator for the fr ont passenger side will turn off. In
this case, depending on the set temperature and ambient tempera -
ture, priority for the airflow w ill be given to the driver's seat only.
The following S-FLOW modes are available:
Automatic S-FLOW mode
In this mode, the system determi nes whether or not a rear passen-
ger is in the vehicle by the opening and closing of a rear door .
When a rear passenger is determ ined to be in the vehicle, S-FLOW
mode will be automat ically disabled. (P. 3 5 6 )
The indicator will illuminate when S-FLOW mode is enabled.
To enable/disable S-FLOW mode and enter manual S-FLOW mode,
press . ( P. 356)

■Switching between outside air and recirculated air modes
Press .
The mode switches between outside air mode (indicator off) and recir-
culated air mode (indicator on) each time is pressed.
■
Defogging the windshield
Defoggers are used to defog the windshield and front side win-
dows.
Press .
The dehumidification function operates and fan speed increases.

the recirculated air mode is used. (It may switch automatically .)
To defog the windshield and the side windows early, turn the ai r flow and
temperature up.
To return to the previous mode, press again when the windshield
is defogged.
■
Defogging the rear window and outside rear view mirrors
Vehicles without outside rear view mirror defoggers
A defogger is used to defog the rear window.
Press .
The defogger will automatically turn off after a period of time .
Vehicles with outside rear view mirror defoggers
Defoggers are used to defog the rear window, and to remove rain -
drops, dew and frost from the outside rear view mirrors.
Press .
The defoggers will automatically turn off after a period of tim e.

■Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperatur e setting and
the ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow
immediately after is pressed.
■ Operation of the air condit ioning system in S-FLOW mode
If the front passenger’s door or a rear door is opened then clo sed, the air con-
ditioning system determines that a passenger is in the vehicle. In this case,
priority for the airflow will be changed from the driver’s seat only to the front
seats only or all seats, respectively. (Depending on the set temperature or
ambient temperature, priority for the airflow may not be given to the driver’s
seat only.)
If a passenger is judged to be in the vehicle, the system will retain the judge-
ment for a certain amount of time after the power switch is tur ned off.
■ Operation of automatic S-FLOW mode
When the system is operating in automatic S-FLOW mode, if a rea r door is
opened and then closed, S-FLOW mode will be disabled. To enable S-FLOW
mode, press
.
■ Changing from manual S-FLOW mode to automatic S-FLOW mode
Press
to disable S-FLOW mode.
Turn the power switch off.
After 60 minutes have elapsed, change the power switch to ON mo de.
■ Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high.
Turning on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the
windshield effectively.
● If you turn off, the windows may fog up more easily.
● The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
■ Windshield fog detection function
When automatic mode is set, the humidity sensor ( P. 358) detects fog on
the windshield and controls the air conditioning system to prev ent fog.1

Interior features
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effec-
tive in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interi or. During
cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle
interior effectively.
● Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch dependin g on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.
■ When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air co ndition-
ing system is on
● In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air condition-
ing system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This may also
reduce fuel consumption.
● Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the power switch
is turned to ON mode.
● It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pre ssing .
■ When the outside t emperature is low
The dehumidification function may not operate even when is pressed.
■ Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
●In the Eco drive mode, “ECO” is displayed on the air conditioni ng screen
and the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to pri oritize fuel effi-
ciency:
• Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict h eating/
cooling capacity
• Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected
● To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:
• Adjust the fan speed
• Turn off Eco drive mode
■ Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the out side air mode.
● During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle m ay enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then ca use odor to
be emitted from the vents.
● To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to o utside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short peri od of time
immediately after the air conditioning system is started in aut omatic
mode.

■ Customization
Some functions can be customized. ( P. 553)
WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
● Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weathe r.
The difference between the temperature of the outside air and t hat of the
windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, block-
ing your vision.
■ To prevent burns (vehicles with outside rear view mirror defogg ers)
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rea r view mirror
defoggers are on.
NOTICE
■ Humidity sensor
■ To prevent 12-volt b attery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessa ry when the
hybrid system is stopped.
● Do not place anything on the instrument
panel which may cover the air outlets.
Otherwise, air flow may be obstructed,
preventing the windshield defoggers
from defogging.
In order to detect fog on the windshield, a
sensor which monitors the temperature
of the windshield, the surround humidity,
etc. is installed. ( P. 356)
Follow these points to avoid damaging
the sensor:
● Do not disassemble the sensor
● Do not spray the glass cleaner on the
sensor or subject it to strong impacts
● Do not stick anything on the sensor
