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.

The defoggers will automatically

turn off after a while.

■Outside/recirculated air mode

Setting to the recirculated air mode

temporarily is recommended in pre-

venting dirty air from entering the

vehicle interior and helping to cool

the vehicle when the outside air

temperature is high.

■For quick cooling

Press the “MAX A/C” switch.

The air conditioning will automati-

cally turn on.

At this time, the following will occur:

■When the outside temperature

falls to nearly 32°F (0°C)

ing system in Eco drive mode

In Eco drive mode, the air condition-

ing system is controlled to prioritize

fuel efficiency by regulating the

engine speed and compressor oper-

ation to restrict the heating/cooling

capacity.

●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 improve air conditioning perfor-

mance, perform the following opera-

tions:

●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.

●Adjust the fan speed

●Adjust the temperature setting

●Turn off Eco drive mode (P.351)

■Fogging up of the windows

●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.

●The windows will easily fog up

when the humidity in the vehicle is

high. Turning the “A/C” switch on

will dehumidify the air from the

outlets and defog the windshield

effectively.

■Air conditioning system opera-

tions when the engine is

stopped due to the Stop & Start

system (vehicles with Stop &

Start system)

●If you turn the “A/C” switch off, the

windows may fog up more easily.

●The windows may fog up if the
