●

This system is not guaranteed to
operate with all Bluetooth

devices.

●

If your cellular phone does not
support Bluetooth

, this system

cannot function.

●

In the following conditions, the

system may not function:

• The cellular phone is turned off.

• The current position is outside the

communication area.

• The cellular phone is not con-

nected.

• The cellular phone has a low bat-

tery.

●

Depending on the type of Blue-
tooth

phone, some function is

not available.

same time, the following problems

may occur:

• The Bluetooth

connection may

be cut.

• Noise may be heard on the Blue-

tooth

audio playback.

• A noise may be heard during

taneously, each connection may

be affected.

●

If a Bluetooth

device is attempt-

ing to connect to the vehicle while

another device is connected as a
Bluetooth

audio device or con-

nected using the hands-free sys-
tem or Wi-Fi

the communication speed may

decrease or malfunctions may

occur, such as image distortion or
audio skipping. If a Bluetooth

device is connected to the system,

the interference it may cause will

be reduced. When carrying a
device with its Bluetooth

connec-

tion enabled, make sure to regis-

ter it to the system and connect it
or disable its Bluetooth

function.

●

When a device is connected via

high. Turning “A/C” switch on will

dehumidify the air from the outlets

and defog the windshield effec-

tively.

●

If you turn “A/C” switch 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

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.

■

Outside/recirculated air mode

●

Setting to the recirculated air

mode temporarily is recom-

mended in preventing 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.

■

Operation of the air condition-

ing system in Eco drive mode

●

In Eco drive mode, the air condi-

tioning system is controlled as fol-

lows to prioritize fuel efficiency:

Ventilation and air conditioning

odors

●

To let fresh air in, set the air condi-

tioning 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 out-

side 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 con-

ditioning system is started in auto-

matic mode.

●

When parking, the system auto-

matically switches to outside air

mode to encourage better air cir-

culation throughout the vehicle,

helping to reduce odors that occur

when starting the vehicle.

■

Air conditioning system opera-

tions when the engine is

stopped due to the Stop & Start

system (vehicles with Stop &

Start system)

When the engine is stopped due to

Stop & Start system operations, the
