■When the outside temperature
exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air
conditioning system is on
●In order to reduce the air condi-
tioning power consumption, the air
conditioning system may switch to
recirculated air mode automati-
cally.
This may also reduce fuel con-
sumption.
●Recirculated air mode is selected
as a default mode when the power
switch is turned to ON.
●It is possible to switch to outside
air mode at any time by selecting
the outside/recirculated air mode
switch.
■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up
when the humidity in the vehicle is
high. Turning the cooling and
dehumidification function on will
dehumidify the air from the outlets
and defog the windshield effec-
tively.
●If you turn the cooling and dehu-
midification function off, the win-
dows 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 a ny setting except
off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air
mode temporarily is recom-
mended in preventing dirty air
from entering the vehicle interior
and helping to c ool the vehicle
when the outside air temperature
is high.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may
automatically switch depending on
the temperature setting or the
inside temperature.
■When the outside temperature
falls to nearly 32°F (0°C)
The dehumidification function may
not operate even when “A/C” switch
is selected.
■Operation of the air condition-
ing system in Eco drive mode
●In Eco drive mode, the air condi-
tioning system is controlled as fol-
lows to prioritize fuel efficiency:
• Fuel cell system and compressor
operation controlled to restrict
heating/cooling capacity
• Fan speed restri cted when auto-
matic mode is selected

●To improve air conditioning perfor-
mance, perform the following
operations:
• Adjust the fan speed
• Turn off Eco drive mode ( P.313)
• Turn off Eco air conditioning mode
●When the driving mode is set to
Eco drive mode, the Eco air condi-
tioning mode will be turned on
automatically. Even in this case,
the Eco air conditioning mode can
be turned off by s electing the Eco
air conditioning mode switch.
■When cleaning the air condi-
tioning control panel
Touch switches may respond when
cleaning. Turn the power switch to
OFF before proceeding with clean-
ing.
■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 a ccumulate in the
air conditioning system. This may
then cause odor to be emitted
from the vents.
●In order to suppress odors that
occur when the a ir conditioning
system starts, the air flow mode
may change to blow air to the feet
or air may stop blowing for a short
period of time immediately after
the air conditioning system is
started in automatic mode.
●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 rear view mirror
surfaces when the outside rear
view mirror defoggers are on.
NOTICE
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge

trols the air conditioning airflow
so that priority is given to the
front seats. When the front pas-
senger seat is not occupied, air-
flow may switch to only the
driver’s seat. Unnecessary air
conditioning is suppressed, con-
tributing to increased fuel effi-
ciency.

■Operation of automatic airflow
control
●In order to maintain a comfortable
interior, airflow may be directed to
seats without passengers immedi-
ately after the fuel cell system is
started and at other times depend-
ing on the outside temperature.
●After the fuel cell system is
started, if passengers move
around inside or enter/exit the
vehicle, the system cannot accu-
rately detect the presence of pas-
sengers and automatic airflow
control will not operate.
■Operation of manual airflow
control
Even if the funct ion is manually
switched to directing airflow to only
the front seats, w hen a rear seat is
occupied, it may automatically direct
airflow to all seats.
■To return to automatic airflow
control
1 With the indicator off, turn the
power switch to OFF.
2 After 60 minutes or more elapse,
