■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 the “AUTO” button is pressed.
■ After pressing
The selection frame will automatically move to the fan speed display.
■ Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high.
Pressing “A/C” button on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog
the windshield effectively.
● If you turn “A/C” button 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
to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in preventing outside air from
entering the vehicle interior. During c ooling operation, setting the recircu-
lated air mode will also cool t he vehicle interior effectively.
● Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.
■ Outside temperature display
In the following situations, the correct out-
side temperature may not be displayed, or
the display may take longer than normal
to change.
●When stopped, or driving at low speeds
(less than 25 km/h [16 mph])

changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit
of a garage, tunnel, etc.)
