■Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature 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.
■ 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
outside/recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mo de. This is
effective in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior.
During cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode wil l 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 tempera ture falls to nearly 32F (0C)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when
is
pressed.

Interior features
■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 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 peri od of time
immediately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic
mode.
■ Air conditioning filter

WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up

difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the wind-
shield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
NOTICE
■ To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessa ry when the
engine is stopped.
