It is possible to switch to outside air mode

at any time by pressing the outside/recir-

culated air mode switch.

Fogging up of the windows

The windows will easily fog up when the

humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning

If you turn “A/C” off, the windows may

fog up more easily.

●

The windows may fog up if the recircu-

lated air mode is used.

■

Outside/recirculated air mode

When driving on dusty roads such as tun-

nels or in heavy traffic, set the out-

side/recirculated air mode switch to the

recirculated air mode. This is effective in

preventing outside air from entering the

vehicle interior. During cooling opera-

tion, setting the recirculated air mode will

also cool the vehicle interior effectively.

matically switch depending on the tem-

perature setting or the inside

temperature.

Operation of the air conditioning sys-

tem in Eco drive mode

In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning sys-

tem is controlled as follows to prioritize fuel

efficiency:

●

Engine speed and compressor operation

controlled to restrict heating/cooling

capacity

●

Fan speed restricted when automatic

mode is selected

To improve air conditioning performance,

perform the following operations:

●

Turn off eco air conditioning mode

(

P.326)

●

Adjust the fan speed

●

Turn off Eco drive mode (

P.297)

nearly 32°F (0°C)

The dehumidification function may not

operate even when “A/C” is selected.

■

Ventilation and air conditioning odors

●

To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning

system to the outside air mode.

●

During use, various odors from inside and

outside the vehicle may enter into and

accumulate in the air conditioning sys-

tem. This may then cause odor to be

emitted from the vents.

●

To reduce potential odors from occur-

ring:

• It is recommended that the air condition-

ing system be set to outside air mode

prior to turning the vehicle off.

• The start timing of the blower may be

delayed for a short period of time imme-

diately after the air conditioning system is

started in automatic mode or with the

micro dust and pollen filter on.

●

When parking, the system automatically

switches to outside air mode to encour-

age better air circulation throughout the

vehicle, helping to reduce odors that

occur when starting the vehicle.

Do not use the windshield defogger

switch during cool air operation in

between the temperature of the outside

air and that of the windshield can cause

the outer surface of the windshield to fog

up, blocking your vision.

defoggers are operating

Do not touch the outside rear view mir-

ror surfaces, as they can become very

hot and burn you.
