INFORMATION
DWhen the “POWER” switch is
turned on, the air conditioning sys-
tem settings will be set to those
that were in use the last time the
“POWER” switch was turned off.
Air conditioning system settings
are memorized individually on
each electronic key, so the settings
reproduced will be specific to the
key that is used.
D During use, various odors from in-
side 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.
D To reduce potential odors from oc-
curring:
D It is recommended that the air
conditioning system be set to
outside air mode prior to turning
the vehicle off.
D The start timing of the blower
may be delayed for a short peri-
od of time immediately after the
air conditioning system is
started in AUTO mode.
NOTICE
To prevent the 12− volt battery from
being discharged, do not leave the air
conditioning on longer than neces-
sary when the hybrid system is off.

Switching between outside air and
recirculated air modes
U7003AASLY
Each time you push the air intake control
button, the mode changes in order from
the RECIRCULATED AIR mode to OUT-
SIDE AIR mode, then back to the RECIR-
CULATED AIR mode. Each indicator light
shows which mode is now selected.
1RECIRCULATED AIR mode
—If
quick circulation of cooled air is de-
sired, select this mode.
2OUTSIDE AIR mode — The system
will take fresh outside air into the ve-
hicle.
For normal use, it is the best to keep the air
intake control button set to OUTSIDE AIR
mode. If recirculated air is used during
heating, the windows will fog up more easi-
ly. (d) Defogging the windshield
The air conditioning system operates
automatically.
Recirculated air mode will automatically
switch to outside air mode. It is not pos-
sible to return to recirculated air mode
when the switch is on.
CAUTION
To prevent the windshield from fog-
ging up
Do not use the windshield air flow
button during cool air operation in
extremely humid weather. The differ-
ence 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.
