5-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger  
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 the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key system) or  
IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system).  
It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing  
When the outside temperature falls to nearly 32F (0C)  
.
The dehumidification function may not operate even when  
is pressed.  
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.

WARNING  
To prevent the windshield from fogging up

windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, block-  
ing 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 defogging.
