Fogging up of the windows
lThe windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high.
Turning on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the wind-
shield effectively.
l If you turn off, the windows may fog up more easily.
l The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
n Outside/recirculated air mode
lWhen driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode button to recirculated air mode. This is effective in
preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling oper-
ation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior
effectively.
l Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.

ing system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This may also
reduce fuel consumption.

and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to
be emitted from the vents.
l To reduce potential odors from occurring:

mode prior to turning the vehicle off.

CAUTION
nTo prevent the windshield from fogging up
lDo not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather.
The difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the
windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, block-
ing your vision.
n To prevent burns
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mirror
defoggers are on.
NOTICE
nTo prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the
engine is stopped.
lDo not place anything on the instrument
panel which may cover the air outlets.
Otherwise, air flow may be obstructed,
preventing the windshield defoggers
from defogging.
