Air conditioning system operation
tips
When the vehicle is parked underthe direct sunlight in hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to expel the hot air inside from the
vehicle.
To reduce the dew condensation on the inside of the windows on
rainy or humid days, lower the
humidity inside the vehicle by
operating the A/C system.
During the A/C operation, you may occasionally notice a slight
change in the engine speed, as
the A/C compressor cycles. This is
a normal condition.
Test the A/C system every month only for a few minutes to maximize
the system performance.
After the inside temperature becomes sufficiently cool, change
the air intake control from the air
recirculation mode to the (fresh)
air intake mode.
When operating the A/C system, you may notice clear water drip-
ping (or even puddling) from the
passenger side of the vehicle. This
does not indicate a system failure.
The air recirculation mode of the A/C provides the maximum cool-
ing. However, a prolonged period
of the A/C operation in this mode
may make the air stale inside the
vehicle.
While operating the A/C system, you may occasionally notice the
dew condensation because of the
rapid cooling process and humid
air intake. This does not mean
there is not a system failure.
Climate control air filter
The climate control air filter is
installed behind the glove box to filter
out dust or other pollutants that come
into the vehicle from the outside
through the heating and air condi-
tioning systems.
If dust or other pollutants accumulate
in the filter over a period of time, the
air intake volume may decrease,
resulting in the dew condensation
inside the windshield even when set-
ting in the (fresh) air intake mode. In
this case, have the climate control air
filter replaced by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Information
• Replace the filter every 15,000 miles(24,000 km) or once a year. If the car
has been driven in severe conditions
such as dusty or rough roads, more
frequent air conditioner filter
inspections and changes are
required.
• When the air flow rate suddenly decreases, have the system checked
by an authorized EQUUS dealer.

3. Press the defrost button ( ).
4. The (fresh) air intake mode will be selected automatically.
When the position is selected,
the lower fan speed will be adjusted

Defogging logic
To reduce the possibility of the dew
condensation on the inside of the
windshield, the air intake is automat-
ically controlled according to a driv-
ing condition such as setting in the or positions. To cancel or
reset the defogging process, follow
the below steps:
1. Turn the Engine Start/Stop button ON.
2. Press the defrost button ( ).
3. While pressing the A/C button, press the air intake control button
at least 5 times within 3 seconds.
The air intake control indicator flash-
es three times at an interval of 0.5
seconds. It indicates that the defog-
ging process is canceled or reset to
the original status.
When the battery is discharged or
disconnected, the system resets to
the defogging default setting.

Auto defogging system (if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the probabil-
ity of the dew condensation on the
inside of the windshield by automati-
cally sensing the moisture.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or the A/C is ON.
This indicator illuminates
when the auto defogging
system senses the mois-
ture on the inside of the
windshield and operates.
If it is humid inside the vehicle, the
automated steps operate as follows:
If auto defogging system does not
defog the window in the step 1 (fresh
air intake mode), the steps 2 and 3
will be followed.
Step 1 : (fresh) air intake mode
Step 2 : Operating the A/C
Step 3 : Blowing air toward the wind- shield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield The auto defogging system automat-
ically activates in certain conditions.
However, if you want to turn OFF the
auto defogging system, press the
front defroster button 4 times within 2
seconds while pressing the AUTO
button. The front defroster indicator
will flash 3 times to notify the system
cancellation. To restart the auto
defogging system, follow the proce-
dures mentioned above.
If the battery is disconnected or dis-
charged, it resets to the auto defog-
ging status.Information
When the A/C is turned ON and the
(fresh) air intake mode is selected by
the auto defogging system, and when
you try to turn OFF the A/C and select
the air recirculation mode, the indica-
tor will just flash 3 times, the A/C will
not be turned OFF, and the air recir-
culation mode will not be selected.
Do not remove the sensor cover
on the upper end of the driver's
side windshield. Damage to sys-
tem parts could occur and may
not be covered by your vehicle
warranty.
