INFORMATION

■

Heating

●

In HV mode, the gasoline engine may operate in order to extract heat from the engine
coolant via the heater.

●

In EV mode or Auto EV/HV mode, heating is done by a heat pump system.

•

When the outside temperature is low or it is snowing, compared to conventional
vehicles, heating may be less effective and warm air may not come out.

•

When the outside heat exchanger is frosted over, fan speed declines and it may be-
come harder to heat the interior. However, it is not a malfunction. In this situation,the
air temperature from the outlets may not change even though the set temperature
is raised.

•

When [AUTO] switch is turned on, the heating is controlled optimally. Therefore,
the set heating performance may not be achieved even if the fan speed setting is
increased.

Outside heat exchanger

●

In the following situations the gasoline engine may operate in order to extract heat-
from the engine coolant via the heater even in EV mode.

•

The outside temperature is approximately -10°C (14°F) or low

•

Windshield defogger switch is operating

Water droplets during air conditioning operation

The outside heat exchanger, accumulator and air conditioning piping may incur conden-
sation or frost may form.
During or after the air conditioning operation, water droplets may fall from the vehicle.
However, it is not a malfunction.

Accumulator

Outside heat exchanger

■

When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air conditioning
system is on

●

In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air conditioning
system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This may also reduce fuel
consumption.

●

Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the power switch is turned
to ON mode.

●

It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by select the outside/recirculat-
ed air mode switch.

■

When driving on dusty roads

Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after
closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake mode be set to outside air
mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.

■

When the outside temperature is low

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 occurring:

•

It is recommended that the air conditioning 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 immediate-
ly after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.

●

When parking, the system automatically switches to outside air mode to encourage-
better air circulation throughout the vehicle, helping to reduce odors that occur when
starting the vehicle.

ditioning system is attached to the hood at the
