■For quick cooling
Turn the temperature control dial to the “MAX A/C” position and select the
recirculated air mode.
■ 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.
■ 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 interior. During cooling
operation, setting the recirculated air m ode will also cool the vehicle interior
effectively.
■ When the outside temperature falls to nearly 32°F (0°C)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when is
pressed.
■ Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode.

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.
