■Handling of the air conditioning panel
The operating section of the air conditioning panel uses capacitive touch
sensors. In the following cases, incorrect operation or non-response may
occur.
●If the operating section is dirty or has liquid attached to it, incorrect oper-
ation or non-response may occur.
● If the operating section receives el ectromagnetic waves, incorrect opera-
tion or non-response may occur.
● If wearing gloves during operation, non-response may occur.
● If fingernails are used to operate the system, non-response may occur.
● If a touch pen is used to operate the system, non-response may occur.
● If the palm of your hand touches the operating section during operation,
incorrect operation may occur.
● If the palm of your hand touches the operating section, incorrect opera-
tion may occur.
● If operations are performed quickly, non-response may occur.
■ Pre-climate operations
The pre-climate is automatically controlled by the set temperature at the time
the “POWER” switch is turned off.

windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking
your vision.

the windshield, the surrounding humidity,
etc. is installed. ( P. 286)

■ Front passenger seat heater
●When the air-conditioning is in ECO LO or ECO HI mode, the seat heater
automatically turns on/off depending on whether the front passenger seat
is occupied or not.
● When the seat heater is operating in manual mode, it does not automati-
cally turn on/off depending on whether the front passenger seat is occu-
pied or not.
● In order to prevent unintended seat heater operation, do not place lug-
gage on the passenger seat.
The sensor may mistakenly judge the seat to be occupied and turn the
seat heater on.
