■

For quick cooling

Press the “MAX A/C” switch.

The air conditioning will automati-

cally turn on.
At this time, the following will occur:

●

The recirculated air mode will be

set

●

The windshield defogger will turn

●

The air flow mode will change to

the upper body mode

■

Operation of the air condition-

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.
To improve air conditioning perfor-

mance, perform the following opera-

tions:

●

Adjust the fan speed

●

Adjust the temperature setting

●

Turn off Eco drive mode (



P.347)

■

Fogging up of the windows

●

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.

●

If you turn the “A/C” switch off, the

windows 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 recommended in pre-

venting dirty air from entering the

vehicle interior and helping to cool

the vehicle when the outside air

temperature is high.

■

When the outside temperature

falls to nearly 32°F (0°C)

The dehumidification function may

not operate even when the “A/C”

switch is pressed.

■

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.

●

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.

●

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.

■

To prevent the windshield

from fogging up

Do not use the windshield defog-

ger switch during cool air opera-

tion in extremely humid weather.

The difference between the tem-

perature of the outside air and

that of the windshield can cause

the outer surface of the wind-

shield to fog up, blocking your

vision.
