.
This is effective in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior.
During cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the
vehicle interior effectively.
●
Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.
■
Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode (if equipped)
●
In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to pri-
oritize 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.
• Adjust the fan speed
• Turn off Eco drive mode
• Adjust the temperature setting
■
When the outside temperature falls to nearly 0°C (32°F)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when
is pressed.
■
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.
• For some models: 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.
■
Air conditioning system operations when the engine is stopped due to
the Stop & Start system (vehicles with Stop & Start system)
When the engine is stopped due to Stop & Start system operations, the
automatic air conditioning cooling, heating and dehumidification functions
turn off and the fan speed is decreased according to the outside tempera-
ture etc. or air blowing stops. To stop the air conditioning system from turn-
ing off, press the Stop & Start cancel switch and refrain from using the Stop
& Start system.
