WARNING
● The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the hybrid system is
running.
● Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assistance
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should also not be left alone. They
could accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation of
the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.

●Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up.
Start the hybrid system and operate the controls
to activate the air conditioner.
NOTE: ● Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
● When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating

pressed, the air conditioner will automati-
cally be turned on at outside temperatures
above 36°F (2°C) . The air recirculate mode
automatically turns off, allowing outside air
to be drawn into the passenger compart-
ment to further improve the defogging per-
formance.
Remote hybrid start logic (if so
equipped)
Vehicles equipped with automatic climate con-
trols and remote start function may go into auto-
matic heating or cooling mode when remote start
is activated depending on outside and cabin tem-
peratures. During this period, the climate control
display and buttons will be inoperable until the
ignition switch is turned on. In remote start de-
frosting mode, the heated steering wheel (if so
equipped) may be activated automatically.

OPERATING TIPS
●When the hybrid system coolant tempera-
ture and outside air temperature are low, the
air flow from the foot outlets may not operate
for a maximum of 150 seconds. However,
this is not a malfunction. After the coolant
temperature warms up, air flow from the foot
outlets will operate normally.

Advanced Climate Control System
(ACCS) (if so equipped)
The Advanced Climate Control System (ACCS)
keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean, using the
ion control and the automatic air intake control
with exhaust gas detecting sensor.
Ion control (if so equipped)
This unit generates highly concentrated Plasma-
cluster® ions into the air blown from the vents
and reduces odor absorbed into the interior trim.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the system
generates Plasmacluster® ions automatically.
The amount of Plasmacluster® ions increases
according to the amount of air flow. When the air
flow is high,
is displayed on the screen and
when the air flow is low, the indication in the
screen changes to
.
Plasmacluster® and Plasmacluster® ion are
registered trademarks of Sharp Corporation. Exhaust gas/outside odor detection sensor
(if so equipped)
This vehicle may be equipped with an exhaust
gas detection sensor. When the automatic intake
air control is ON, 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, the system automatically
changes from the outside air circulation mode to
the recirculation mode.
When the intake air control button is pressed
under the following conditions, the indicator light
on the
button will illuminate and the ex-
haust gas detection sensor will turn on.
●
The air flow control is not in the front defroster
mode (the indicator light on the
front
defroster button is turned off) .
● The outside temperature is about 32°F (0°C)
or more.
When the automatic intake air 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 vent.
After the 5 minutes, the sensor detects exhaust gas
and automatically alternates between the recircu-
lation mode and outside air circulation mode.
