When driving
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) ● Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or applying the
brakes too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat and
result in reduced braking efficiency.
● Due to the added load of the trailer, your vehicle’s engine may
overheat on hot days (at temper atures over 85°F [30°C]) when
driving up a long or steep grade. If the Engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates overheating, immedi ately turn off the air condition-
ing (if in use), pull your vehicle off the road and stop in a safe spot.
(  P. 603)
● Always place wheel blocks under both the vehicle’s and the
trailer’s wheels when parking. Ap ply the parking brake firmly, and
put the transmission in P. Avoid pa rking on a slope, but if unavoid-
able, do so only after performing the following:
Apply the brakes and keep them applied.
Have someone place wheel blo cks under both the vehicle’s
and trailer’s wheels.
When the wheel blocks are in pl ace, release the brakes slowly
until the blocks absorb the load.

VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) Using the automatic mode
Press . The air conditioning system will begin to operate. In outside air or
recirculated air mode, air outlets, fan speed and air conditioning on/
off are automatically adjusted according to the temperature setting.
“AUTO” will be displayed on the multi-information display, along with
the temperature setting. The settings that are automatically adjusted
by the system are not displayed. When only “AUTO” and the temper-
ature settings are displayed, may be pressed a second
time to temporarily display all system settings.

Interior features
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) ■ When outside temperature r eaches approximately 32°F (0°C)
The air conditioning system may not operate even when is pressed.
■ 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
immediately after the air conditioning system is started in the automatic
mode. Air flows to the feet for a certain period of time when the air starts
to flow.
CAUTION■ To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the wind-
shield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
NOTICE■ To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the
engine is stopped.
