after the “AUTO” button is pressed.
■When the outside temperature exceeds 75 °F (24 °C) and the air conditioning system
is on
●In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air conditioning system
may switch to recirculated air mode automatically.

lated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in preventing out-
side air from entering the vehicle interi or. During cooling operation, setting the
recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.

ture setting or the inside temperature.

GX 460 _O M_ OM6 0F 6 8U _(U )
■Automatic mode for air intake control (veh icles with rear air conditioning system)
In automatic mode, the system detects exhaust gas and other pollutants and automati-
cally 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.
■When the outside temperature is low
The dehumidification function may not operate even when “A/C” is touched.
■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 accu-
mulate 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 automatic mode.
