■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up 
when the humidity in the vehicle is 
high. Turning “A/C” switch is on 
will dehumidify the air from the 
outlets and defog the windshield 
effectively.
●If you turn “A/C” switch is off, the 
windows may fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the 
recirculated air mode is used.
■When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up 
by the vehicle is still drawn into the 
vehicle after closing the windows, it 
is recommended that the air intake 
mode be set to outside air mode and 
the fan speed to any setting except 
off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
Setting to the recirculated air mode 
temporarily is recommended in pre-
venting dirty air from entering the 
vehicle interior and helping to cool 
the vehicle when the outside air 
temperature is high.
■When the outside temperature 
falls to nearly 32°F (0°C)
The dehumidification function may 
not operate even when “A/C” switch 
is pressed.
■Ventilation and air conditioning 
odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condi-
tioning system to the outside air 
mode.
●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.
●It is recommended that the air 
conditioning system be set to out-
side air mode prior to turning the 
vehicle off.
●When parking, the system auto-
matically switches to outside air 
mode to encourage better air cir-
culation throughout the vehicle, 
helping to reduce odors that occur 
when starting the vehicle.

WARNING
■To prevent the windshield 
from fogging up
Do not use the windshield defog-
ger switch during cool air opera-
tion in extremely humid weather. 
The difference between the tem-
perature of the outside air and 
that of the windshield can cause 
the outer surface of the wind-
shield to fog up, blocking your 
vision.
■When the outside rear view 
mirror defoggers are operat-
ing
Do not touch the outside rear view 
mirror surfaces, as they can 
become very hot and burn you.
