■

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.
Turning “A/C” on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the wind-
shield effectively.

●

If you turn “A/C” off, the windows may fog up more easily.

●

The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.

■

When driving on dusty roads

Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehi-
cle 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.

■

Outside/recirculated air mode

●

Setting to the recirculated air mode temporarily is recommended in prevent-
ing dirty air from entering the vehicle interior and helping to cool the vehicle
when the outside air temperature is high.

●

Outside/recirculated  air  mode  may  automatically  switch  depending  on  the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.

■

When outside air temperature is low

The dehumidification function may not operate even when “A/C” is pressed.

■

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

●

In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air condition-
ing 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 engine switch
is turned to IGNITION ON mode.

●

It  is  possible  to  switch  to  outside  air  mode  at  any  time  by  pressing

.

Micro dust and pollen filter

●

In order to prevent the windows from fogging up when the outside air is cold,
the following may occur.
• Outside air mode does not switch to recirculated air mode.
• The dehumidification function operates.
• The operation cancels after approximately 1 minute.

●

In rainy weather, the windows may fog up. Press 

.

●

In extremely humid weather, the windows may fog up.

●

The pollens are filtered out even if the micro dust and pollen filter is turned
off.

■

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

immediately  after  the  air  conditioning  system  is  started  in  automatic
mode.

■

The  rear  window  defogger  and  windshield  wiper  de-icer  (if  equipped)
can be operated when

The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.

■

When the windshield wiper de-icer (if equipped) is on

The windshield wiper de-icer will automatically turn off after approximately 15
minutes.

■

WARNING

■

To prevent the windshield from fogging up

●

Do  not  use 

  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.

■

To prevent burns

●

Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mir-
ror defoggers are on.

●

Do not touch the glass at lower part of the windshield or to the side of the
front pillars when the windshield wiper de-icer is on. (vehicles with wind-
shield wiper de-icer)

Usable portable devices

Qi standard wireless charge standard can be used on compatible devices. 
However, not all Qi standard devices and compatibility are guaranteed. 
Starting with mobile phones and smart phones, it is aimed for low power elec-
trically supplied portable devices of no more than 5W.

■

When covers and accessories are attached to portable devices

Do not charge in situations where cover and accessories not able to handle
Qi are attached to the portable device. Depending on the type of cover and
accessory, it may not be possible to charge. When charging is not performed
even with the portable device placed on the charge area, remove the cover
and accessories.

■

While charging, noise enters the AM radio

Turn off the wireless charger and confirm that the noise has decreased. If the
noise decreases, continuously pushing the power supply switch of the wire-
less charger for 2 seconds, the frequency of the charger can be changed and
the noise can be reduced. 
Also, on that occasion, the operation indicator light will flash orange 2 times.

■

Important points of the wireless charger

●

If the electronic key cannot be detected within the vehicle interior, charging
cannot  be  done.  When  the  door  is  opened  and  closed,  charging  may  be
temporarily suspended.

●

When  charging,  the  wireless  charging  device  and  portable  device  will  get
warmer, however this is not a malfunction. 
When a portable device gets warm while charging, charging may stop due
to the protection function on the portable device side. In this case, when the
temperature of the portable device drops significantly, charge again.

■

Operation sounds

When the power supply is turned on, while searching for the portable device a
