AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Cooling and/or dehumidified heat-

ADVANCED CLIMATE CONTROL SYS-
TEM (if so equipped)
The Advanced Climate Control System
keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean,
using the automatic air circulation control
with the exhaust gas/outside odor detect-
ing sensor and with ion control.
*1[Auto Recirc]:
Touch to turn on the automatic air
recirculation mode.
*2Plasmacluster®icon:
Indicates the Plasmacluster®ion emis-
sion status. Automatic air recirculation control with the
exhaust gas/outside odor detection sen-
sor:
The Advanced Climate Control system
comes with an exhaust gas detection/
outside odor sensor. When the automatic
air circulation control is activated, the
sensor detects odors outside the vehicle
such as pulp or chemicals, and exhaust
gas such as gasoline or diesel. When such
odors or gases are detected, the display
and the system automatically change from
the fresh air mode to the recirculation
mode.
When the automatic air circulation control
mode is on, for the first 5 minutes, the air
recirculation mode is selected to prevent
dust, dirt and pollen from entering the
vehicle and to clean the air inside of the
vehicle.
After 5 minutes, the sensor detects ex-
haust gas and automatically alternates
between the air recirculation mode and
the fresh air mode.
