The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
Outside/recirculated air mode
When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effec-
tive in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During
cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehi-
cle interior effectively.
Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.
Automatic mode for air intake control
In automatic mode, the system detects exhaust gas and other pollutants and
automatically 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.
Pollen removal mode
In order to prevent the windshield from fogging up when the outside air is
cold, the following may occur:
• Outside air mode does not switch to (recirculated air) mode.
• The dehumidification function operates.
• The operation cancels after approximately 1 minute.
In rainy weather, the windows may fog up. Press .
In extremely humid weather, the windows may fog up.
The pollens are filtered out even if the pollen removal mode is turned off.
Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode

prioritize fuel efficiency:
Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict heating/cool-
ing capacity
Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected
To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following opera-
tions:
Adjust the fan speed
Turn off Eco drive mode
When the S-FLOW mode operates
