NOTE:
•The ventilation mode requires a lower
power consumption, so cruising distance
will increase.
• In ventilation mode, temperature is not
indicated on the air conditioner display.
Dehumidified defrosting/defogging:
Press the
front defroster button (the indi-
cator light will illuminate) .
• To remove moisture or fog on the front window quickly, set the temperature to the high tem-
perature and the fan speed to their maximum
level.
• After the windshield is cleared, press the
front defroster button again (the indicator light
will turn off) .
• When the
front defroster button is
pressed, the air conditioner will automatically
turn on to defog the windshield. The outside air
recirculation mode will be selected to improve
the defogging performance. Fan speed control:
Turn the
fan speed control dial to manually
control the fan speed.
Press the AUTO button to change the fan speed
to the automatic mode.
Air flow control:
Press the MODE button to change the air flow
mode.
— Air flows from the center and side ventilators.
— Air flows from the center and sideventilators and foot outlets.
— Air flows mainly from the foot outlets.
— Air flows from the defroster outletsand foot outlets.
Temperature control:
Turn the temperature control dial to set the de-
sired temperature.
Air recirculation:
Press the
intake air control button to
change the air circulation mode. When the indi-
cator light illuminates, the flowing air is recircu-
lated inside the vehicle. Outside air circulation:
Press the
intake air control button to
change the air circulation mode. When the indi-
cator light does not illuminate, the flowing air is
drawn from outside the vehicle.
Automatic air intake control:
To set the automatic control mode, press and
hold the
intake air control button. The
indicator light will blink twice and the inside/
outside circulation will then be controlled auto-
matically. When in automatic mode, the indicator
light will come on when inside air recirculation is
active.

To turn off the climate control, press the Climate
control system OFF button. The same operating
mode (Heater or A/C) that was active when the
system is turned off is active when system is
turned back on.
Climate Ctrl. Timer
While the charger is connected to the vehicle,
this function pre-heats or pre-cools the passen-
ger compartment of the vehicle to the tempera-
ture set by default before driving. This helps
reduce power consumption from the Li-ion bat-
tery.
As the temperature is set to the factory default
setting, the user cannot adjust the temperature.
The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the air condi-
tioner using power from the charger. Electric
power from the Li-ion battery is not used.
Once the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, it automati-
cally starts so the vehicle compartment will be
cooled/heated to the temperature set by default
by the registered departure time. It is therefore
not necessary to set the Climate Ctrl. Timer ev-
eryday.
WARNING
Even if the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, the
temperature in the passenger compart-
ment may become high or low if the sys-
tem automatically stops. Do not leave
children or adults who would normally
require the support of others alone in
your vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to people
or animals. Also on cold days, tempera-
ture in a vehicle could become low
enough to cause severe or possible fatal
injuries to people or animals. 1. Push the
switchAon the left side of
the combination meter panel.
2. Push the
switchBuntil “Climate Ctrl.
Timer” is highlighted on the vehicle informa-
tion display and then push the
