⬛

Operation of the automatic mode

The fan speed is adjusted automatically in accordance with the temperature

setting and ambient conditions. Therefore, immediately after

pressed, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow.

⬛

Temperature control sensors

The automatic air conditioning system has sensors so that it can control tem-

perature automatically.

Solar radiation sensor

Detects the amount of solar radia-

tion.

Inside air temperature sensor

Detects the temperature of inside

air.

If an object is placed on the solar radiation sensor, or the inside air tempera-

ture sensor is covered up with stickers or the like, these sensors may not work

properly.

⬛

Using the air conditioning system for cooling

In rare cases, it may appear that fog is blowing out of the air outlet, but this is

normal when moist air is suddenly cooled.

⬛

Fogging up of the windows

⚫

The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high.

Turning

on will flow the dehumidified air from the outlets and

defog the windshield effectively.

⚫

If you turn

off, the windows may fog up more easily.

⚫

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

Even if you press

, the air conditioning system may not work.

⬛

When the air outlets are set to

(vehicles with heaters)

In order to deliver cool air to the driver and passengers’ faces and warm air to

their feet, depending on the set temperature, the air sent to the driver and

passengers’ feet will be warmer than the air sent to the upper body.

⬛

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 recommended in prevent-

ing dirty air from entering the vehicle interior and helping to cool the vehicle

when the outside air temperature is high.

⬛

Ventilation and air conditioning odors

⚫

To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air introduc-
tion 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 odors to

be emitted from the vents.

⚫

When the automatic mode is used, the fan may stop for a while immediately
after the air conditioning system starts to reduce potential odors generated

during startup. In addition, it is recommended that the air conditioning sys-

tem be set to outside air introduction mode prior to turning the vehicle off.

. 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.

⚫

Do not place anything on the
instrument panel which may cover

the air outlets. Otherwise, air flow

may be obstructed, preventing the

windshield defoggers from defog-

ging.
