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

system. 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 pollen

removal mode.

nanoe™ X

This vehicle incorporates a biocidal prod-

uct.
Ionised air generated by a device incorpo-

rated in the vehicle purifies the air in the

cabin by suppressing bacteria.
Active substances: Free radicals generated

in situ from ambient air or water.
nanoe™ helps to provide purified air by

emitting electrically charged water parti-

cles through the side vent on the driver’s
side

When the fan is turned on and nanoe™

on the option control screen is selected,

the nanoe™ X is activated.

When the fan is operated in the following

conditions, system performance will be

maximized. If the following conditions are

not met, performance will be limited.

• The ,

air

outlets

are

being used.

• The side vent on the driver’s side is open.

When nanoe™ is generated, a small

amount of ozone is emitted and may be

faintly smelled in some situations. How-

ever, this is approximately the same as

the amount that already exists in nature,

such as in forests, and it has no affect on

the human body.

A slight noise may be heard during oper-

ation. This is not a malfunction.

: nanoe™ X is a nanoe™ generator.

nanoe™ and the nanoe™ mark are trade-
marks of Panasonic Corporation.

: According to temperature and humidity

conditions, fan speed and direction of
the air flow, the nanoe™ system may not
operate at full capacity.
