3-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
■ Fogging up of the windows
● Vehicles with the
button: The windows will easily fog up when the
humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning
on will dehumidify the air
from the outlets and defog the windshield effectively.
● Vehicles with the
button: If you turn
off, the windows may
fog up more easily.
●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
outside/recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is
recommended to prevent outside air from entering the vehicle interior.
● Vehicles with the
button: During cooling operation, setting the
recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.
■ When the outside temperature falls to nearly 0°C (32°F) (vehicles with
the
button)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when
is
pressed.

3-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
■ 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.

■ To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not set the air outlet selection dial to
during cool air operation in
extremely humid weather. The difference 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.
NOTICE
■ To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the
engine is stopped.

■ Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting
and the ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow
immediately after
is pressed.
■ Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high.
