■Reconnecting a Bluetooth® phone
If the system cannot connect due to poor signal strength with the “START STOP
ENGINE” <“POWER”> switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode,
the system will automatically attempt to reconnect.
If the phone is turned off, the system will not attempt to reconnect. In this case, the
connection must be made manually, or the phone must be reselected.
■Connecting a phone while Bluetooth® audio is playing
●Bluetooth® audio will stop temporarily.
●It may take time to connect.

●Profiles:
• HFP (Hands Free Profile) Ver. 1.0 or higher (Recommended: Ver. 1.6 or higher) This is a profile to allow hands-free phone calls using a cellular phone or head
set. It has outgoing and incoming call functions.
• OPP (Object Push Profile) Ver. 1.1 or higher (Recommended: Ver. 1.2) This is a profile to transfer phonebook data. When a Bluetooth
® compatible cel-
lular phone has both PBAP and OPP, OPP cannot be used.
• PBAP (Phone Book Access Profile) Ver. 1.0 or higher (Recommended: Ver. 1.1) This is a profile to transfer phonebook data.
• MAP (Message Access Profile) Ver.1.0 or higher This is a profile to using phone message.
If the cellular phone does not support HFP, you cannot register it with the hands-free
system. OPP, PBAP or MAP services must be selected individually.
■Reconnecting the portable audio player
If the portable audio player is disconnected due to poor reception when the “START
STOP ENGINE” <“POWER”> switch is in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON
mode, the system automatically reconnects the portable audio player.
If you have switched off the portable audio player yourself, follow the instructions
below to reconnect:
●Select the portable audio player again

■Adjusting the position of and op ening and closing the air outlets
Direct air flow to the left or right, up or down.
Turn the knob to open or close the vent.
■Registering air conditioning settings to electronic keys
●Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic key and turning the “START STOP
ENGINE” <“POWER”> switch to IGNITION ON mode will recall that key’s
registered air conditioning settings.
●When the “START STOP ENGINE” <“POWER”> switch is turned off, the current
air conditioning settings will automatically be registered to the electronic key that
was used to unlock the vehicle.
The system may not operate correctly if more than one electronic key is in the vicinity
or if the smart access system is used to unlock a passenger door.
Settings for the electronic key and the corresponding door can be changed.

Interior features
■Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting and the
ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow immedi-
ately after the “AUTO” button is pressed or “AUTO” is selected.
■When the outside temperature exceeds 75 °F (24 °C) and the air conditioning sys-
tem is on
●In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air conditioning
system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically.
This may also reduce fuel consumption.
●Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the “START STOP
ENGINE” <“POWER”> switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
●It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing .
■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Selecting
“A/C” on the option control screen will dehumidify the air from the outlets and
defog the windshield effectively.
●If you turn “A/C” off, the windows may fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
■Windshield fog detection function (if equipped)
When automatic mode is set, the humidity sensor (→P. 476) detects fog on the
windshield and controls the air conditioning system to prevent fog.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set to
the recirculated air mode. 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 tem-
perature setting or the inside temperature.
■When the outside temperature is low
The dehumidification function may not operate even when “A/C” on the option con-
trol screen is selected.

■Automatic mode for air intake control
In automatic mode, the system detects exhaust gas and other pollutants and auto-
matically 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.
■Micro dust and pollen filter
●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 micro dust and pollen filter is turned off.
■Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
●In the Eco drive mode, the air conditioning sy stem is controlled as follows to priori-
tize 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
■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.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time immedi- ately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.

NOTICE
■Humidity sensor (if equipped)
●Do not spray the glass cleaner on the sensor or subject it to strong impacts
●Do not stick anything on the sensor
■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the
engine is off.
In order to detect fog on the windshield, a
sensor which monitors the temperature of
the windshield, the surround humidity, etc. is
installed. ( →P. 4 7 3 )
Follow these points to avoid damaging the
sensor:
●Do not disassemble the sensor
