Advanced climate control system (if so
equipped)
The advanced climate control system keeps the
air inside of the vehicle clean, using the ion
control and the automatic air intake control with
exhaust gas detecting sensor.
Push the “
AUTO” auto-recirculation button
(the indicator light on the “AUTO” auto-
recirculation button will illuminate) to activate the
ion control and the automatic air intake control.
Ion control:
This unit generates highly concentrated Plas-
macluster
®ions into the air blown from the
ventilators and reduces odor absorbed into the interior trim.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster
®ions automa-
tically.
“The high-density Plasmacluster
®ions gener-
ated in the air conditioner’s air stream not only
suppress airborne bacteria and reduce the
adherence of odors to the interior trim, but also
have a proven skin moisture preserving effect.”
The amount of Plasmacluster
®ions increases
according to the amount of air flow. When the air
flow is high, “
”*Ais displayed on the
screen and when the air flow is low, the
indication in the screen changes to “
”*B.
Plasmacluster®and Plasmacluster®ions are
registered trademark of Sharp corporation.
Automatic air intake control with exhaust
gas/outside odor detection sensor:
This vehicle is equipped with an exhaust gas
detection sensor. When the automatic air intake
control is activated, the sensor detects industry
odors such as pulp or chemicals, and exhaust
gas such as gasoline or diesel. When such
odors or gas are detected, “
”*Cwill
appear on the display and the system auto-
matically changes from the outside air circulation
mode to the recirculation mode.
The automatic air intake control can be activated when the “
AUTO” auto-recirculation button
is pushed (the indicator light on the “AUTO”
auto-recirculation button will illuminate) under
the following conditions.
. The air flow control is not in the front
defroster mode (the indicator light on the
front defroster“
FRONT” button is
turned off).
. The outside temperature is about 328 F
(08C) or above.
When the automatic air intake control is ON, for
the first 5 minutes, the recirculation mode is
selected to prevent dust, dirt and pollen from
entering the vehicle and cleans the air inside of
the vehicle with positive and negative ions that
are emitted from the ventilator.
After 5 minutes, the sensor detects exhaust gas
and automatically alternates between the recir-
culation mode and outside air circulation mode.
Turning the system off
Push the “ON·OFF” button.
Rear air conditioning system
To control the rear air conditioning system
independently with the front air conditioner
control panel, push the “REAR” button. When
the rear air conditioning system control is on, the
indicator light on the “REAR” button will
illuminate and “
” will appear on the display.
In this state, the rear air conditioning system can
be adjusted with the front air conditioner control
panel. However, if no operation is conducted for
approximately 10 seconds after the “REAR”
button is pushed, the front air conditioner
control panel will automatically switch to the
front air conditioning mode.
To cancel the rear air conditioning mode and
switch back to the front air conditioning mode,
push “REAR” button one more time.
Automatic operation:
1. Push the “REAR” button to display “
”on
the front display when the rear air condition-
ing system is on.
2. Push the “AUTO” button. (The AUTO indicator light will illuminate.)
3. Push the temperature control buttons (“
” and “”) (driver’s side) to set the
desired temperature. Manual operation:
To operate the rear air conditioning system using
the front air conditioner control panel, push
“REAR” button (the indicator light on the
“REAR” button will illuminate and “
” will
appear on the display) .
. Temperature control
Push the temperature control buttons
(“
” and “”) (driver’s side) to set the
desired temperature.
. Fan speed control
Push the fan speed control “
”
button or “” button to manually
control the fan speed.
. Air flow control
Push the “MODE” button to change the air
flow mode.
: The air outlet is fixed at foot level.
: The air outlet is fixed at both the head and
foot level.
: The air outlet is fixed at the head level.
NOTE:
Pushing the “A/C” button when the rear air
conditioning system is turned on and
“
” does not appear on the display will
turn off the rear air conditioning system
(except when the air flow is set to the
position) . Rear Heating (A/C off):
1. Push the “REAR” button to display “
”on
the front display when the rear air condition-
ing system is on.
2. Switch the air flow mode to
by pressing
the “MODE” button.
3. Push the “AUTO” button. (The AUTO indicator light will illuminate.)
4. If the A/C indicator light illuminates, push the “A/C” button. (The A/C indicator light will
turn off.)
5. Push the temperature control buttons (“
” and “”) (driver’s side) to set the
desired temperature.
. Do not set the temperature lower than the
outside air temperature. Doing so may cause
the temperature to not be controlled prop-
erly.
. To dehumidify the air, push the “A/C” button
before turning on the heater.
. Air does not blow out from the vents on the
ceiling when the system is used for heating.

FM radio reception:
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 to 30
miles (40 to 48 km) , with monaural (single
channel) FM having slightly more range than
stereo FM. External influences may sometimes
interfere with FM station reception even if the
FM station is within 25 miles (40 km). The
strength of the FM signal is directly related to the
distance between the transmitter and receiver.
FM signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting
many of the same characteristics as light. For
example they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from
a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade
and/or drift.Static and flutter: During signal interference from
buildings, large hills or due to antenna position,
usually in conjunction with increased distance
from the station transmitter, static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by lowering the
treble setting to reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other,
resulting in momentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM radio reception:
AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can be bounced off the
ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of
these characteristics. AM signals are also
subject to interference as they travel from
transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights. Satellite radio reception (if so equipped):
When the satellite radio is used for the first time
or the battery has been replaced, the satellite
radio may not work properly. This is not a
malfunction. Wait more than 10 minutes with the
satellite radio ON and the vehicle outside of any
metal or large building for the satellite radio to
receive all of the necessary data.
The satellite radio mode requires an active
SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscription. The sa-
tellite radio is not available in Alaska, Hawaii and
Guam.
The satellite radio performance may be affected
if cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite
radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the satellite
antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna
can affect satellite radio performance. Remove
the ice to restore satellite radio reception.
