temperature setting or the inside temperature.

■Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode

●In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to pri-

oritize fuel efficiency:

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).

■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.

5-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger

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, 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.

■To prevent burns

●Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mir-

ror defoggers are on.

5

●Do not touch the glass at the lower part of the windshield or to the side of

the front pillars when the windshield wiper de-icer is on.

NOTICE

■To prevent battery discharge

Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the

engine is stopped.
