■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when the humidify in the vehicle is high.
Turning on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the
windshield effectively. (vehicles with an air conditioning on/off button)
● If you turn off, the windows may fog up more easily. (vehicles with
an air conditioning on/off button)
● 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 out-
side/recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effec-
