■

Defogging the windshield

Defoggers are used to defog the wind-
shield and front side windows.
Press the windshield defogger switch.

Set the outside/recirculated air mode
switch to outside air mode if the recircu-
lated air mode is used. (It may switch auto-
matically.)
To defog the windshield and the side win-
dows early, turn the air flow and tempera-
ture up.
To return to the previous mode, press the
windshield defogger switch again when the

windshield is defogged.

■

Defogging the rear window and
outside rear view mirrors

Defoggers are used to defog the rear
window, and to remove raindrops, dew
and frost from the outside rear view
mirrors.
Press the rear window and outside rear
view mirror defoggers switch.

The defoggers will automatically turn off
after 15 minutes.

■

When the outside temperature exceeds

75°F (24°C) and the air conditioning

system is on

●

In order to reduce the air conditioning

power consumption, the air conditioning

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 power switch is

turned to ON mode.

●

It is possible to switch to outside air mode

at any time by pressing the outside/recir-

culated air mode switch.

■

Fogging up of the windows

The windows will easily fog up when the

humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning “A/C”

on will dehumidify the air from the outlets

and defog the windshield effectively.

●

If you turn “A/C” off, the windows may fog

up more easily.

●

The windows may fog up if the recircu-

lated air mode is used.

■

Outside/recirculated air mode

●

When driving on dusty roads such as tun-

nels or in heavy traffic, set the out-

side/recirculated air mode switch to the

recirculated air mode. This is effective in

preventing outside air from entering the

vehicle interior. During cooling opera-

tion, setting the recirculated air mode will

also cool the vehicle interior effectively.

conditioning settings.

●

When the power switch is turned off, the

current air conditioning settings will auto-

matically be registered to the electronic

key that was used to unlock the vehicle.

The system may not operate correctly if

more than one electronic key is in the

vicinity or if the smart access system with

push-button start is used to unlock the

passenger door.

Operation of the air conditioning sys-

tem in Eco drive mode

In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning sys-

tem is controlled as follows to prioritize fuel

efficiency:

●

Engine speed and compressor operation

controlled to restrict heating/cooling

capacity

●

Fan speed restricted when automatic

mode is selected

To improve air conditioning performance,

perform the following operations:

●

Turn off eco air conditioning mode

(

P.256)

●

Adjust the fan speed

●

Turn off Eco drive mode (

P.202)

■

When the outside temperature falls to

nearly 32°F (0°C)

The dehumidification function may not

operate even when “A/C” is selected.

■

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 sys-

tem. This may then cause odor to be

emitted from the vents.

●

When parking, the system automatically

switches to fresh air intake mode to

encourage better air circulation through-

out the vehicle, helping to reduce odors

that occur when starting the vehicle.

■

Air conditioning system can be operated

using voice commands. For details, refer to

WARNING

■

To prevent the windshield from fog-

ging up

Do not use the windshield defogger

switch 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, blocking your vision.

■

When the outside rear view mirror

defoggers are operating

Do not touch the outside rear view mir-

ror surfaces, as they can become very

hot and burn you.

ing to the temperature setting and the

ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until

warm or cool air is ready to flow immedi-

ately after the automatic mode switch is

pressed or “AUTO” is selected.
Cool air may blow around the upper body

even when the heater is on due to sunlight.

■

When automatic mode is set, the humidity

sensor detects fog on the windshield and

controls the air conditioning system to pre-

vent fog.

exhaust gas and other pollutants and auto-

matically switches between outside air and

recirculated air modes.
When the dehumidification function is off,

and the fan is operating, turning automatic

mode on will activate the dehumidification

function. The next time the dehumidification

function is turned off, the AUTO mode for

switching between outside air and recircu-

lated air modes is canceled.

In S-FLOW mode, priority for the air-
flow is given to the front seats, reducing
the airflow and air conditioning effect

WARNING
