NOTICE

Do not use the AC power outlet for electric 
appliances that require high initial peak wattage, 
such as cathode-ray tube type televisions, 
refrigerators, electric pumps, etc. It is not suitable for 
devices that process precise data, such as medical 
equipment, and that require an extremely stable 
power supply, such as microcomputer-controlled 
electric blankets, touch sensor lamps, etc.

The AC power outlet is designed to supply power for 
up to 115 volt appliances that are rated 150 watts or 
less.

Continued use of any electric appliance/device 
exceeding these ratings may result in damage to the 
appliance/device.

When the AC power outlet is not in use, close the 
cover to prevent any small foreign objects from 
getting into the AC power outlet.

Using Automatic Climate Control

If any buttons are pressed while using the climate 
control system in auto, the function of the button

The 

AUTO

 indicator will go off, but functions 

unrelated to the button that was pressed will be

During idle-stops, air-conditioning is suspended, and 
only the blower remains active.
If you do not want air-conditioning suspended, press 
the Auto Idle Stop 

OFF

 button to cancel idle-stop.

To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside, the 
fan may operate at low speed for a while after the 

AUTO

 button has been pressed.

If the interior is very warm, you can cool it down 
more rapidly by partially opening the windows, 
turning the system on auto, and setting the 
temperature to low. Change the fresh mode to 
recirculation mode until the temperature cools down.
