■

When the outside temperature

exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air

conditioning system is on

●

In order to reduce the air condi-

tioning power consumption, the air

conditioning system may switch to

recirculated air mode automati-

cally.

This may also reduce fuel con-

sumption.

●

Recirculated air mode is selected

as a default mode when the power

switch is turned to ON.

●

It is possible to switch to outside

air mode at any time by selecting

the outside/recirculated air mode

switch.

■

Fogging up of the windows

●

The windows will easily fog up

when the humidity in the vehicle is

high. Turning the cooling and

dehumidification function on will

dehumidify the air from the outlets

and defog the windshield effec-

tively.

●

If you turn the cooling and dehu-

midification function off, the win-

dows may fog up more easily.

●

The windows may fog up if the

recirculated air mode is used.

■

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 recom-

mended in preventing dirty air

from entering the vehicle interior

and helping to cool the vehicle

when the outside air temperature

is high.

●

Outside/recirculated air mode may

automatically switch depending on

the temperature setting or the

inside temperature.

■

When the outside temperature

falls to nearly 32°F (0°C)

The dehumidification function may

not operate even when “A/C” switch

is selected.

■

Operation of the air condition-

ing system in Eco drive mode

●

In Eco drive mode, the air condi-

tioning system is controlled as fol-

lows to prioritize fuel efficiency:

• Fuel cell system and compressor

operation controlled to restrict

heating/cooling capacity

• Fan speed restricted when auto-

matic mode is selected

338

6-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger

●

To improve air conditioning perfor-

mance, perform the following

operations:

• Adjust the fan speed

• Turn off Eco drive mode (



P.314)

• Turn off Eco air conditioning mode

●

When the driving mode is set to

Eco drive mode, the Eco air condi-

tioning mode will be turned on

automatically. Even in this case,

the Eco air conditioning mode can

be turned off by selecting the Eco

air conditioning mode switch.

■

When cleaning the air condi-

tioning control panel

Touch switches may respond when

cleaning. Turn the power switch to

OFF before proceeding with clean-

ing.

■

Ventilation and air conditioning

odors

●

To let fresh air in, set the air condi-

tioning 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.

●

In order to suppress odors that

occur when the air conditioning

system starts, the air flow mode

may change to blow air to the feet

or air may stop blowing for a short

period of time immediately after

the air conditioning system is

started in automatic mode.

●

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.
