■Micro dust and pollen filter
● In order to prevent the windows from fogging up when the outside air is
cold, the following may occur.
• Outside air mode does not switch to recirculated air mode.
• The air conditioning system operates automatically.
• The operation cancels after 1 minute.
● In rainy weather, the windows may fog up. Press .
■ When Eco Driving mode is on
● If the outside temperature exceeds a preset temperature, the system will
switch to recirculated air mode.
● The effectiveness of the air conditioning will be lower than normal.
● The fan speed level drops below the normal rate.
■ Plasmacluster™
* (if equipped)
Plasmacluster will operate in conjunction with the air conditioning fan motor
when it is turned on.
This air conditioning system adopts plasmacluster technology, which helps
to keep good air quality in the cabin by emitting positive and negative ions
through the driver’s side vent. 
A slight noise may be heard during operation. This is not a malfunction. Also,
static electricity may be discharged near the driver’s side vent due to the
high voltage used to operate the system.
To clean the driver’s side vent, turn the system off and wipe the vent using a
soft cloth.
*: Plasmacluster technology is manufactured under license from the SHARP
Corporation. 
“Plasmacluster™” is a trademark of the SHARP Corporation.
■ Air conditioning odors
● 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.
