Fogging up of the windows
●The 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.
● If you turn off, the windows may fog up more easily.
● The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
■ Windshield fog detection function
When automatic mode is set, the humidity sensor ( →P. 266) detects fog on
the windshield and controls the air conditioning system to prevent fog.
■ Outside/recirculated air mode
●When 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.
● Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.
■ Operation of the air conditioni ng system in ECO HEAT/COOL mode
● In ECO HEAT/COOL mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as fol-
lows to prioritize fuel efficiency:
• Fluid (heating) heater and compressor operation controlled to restrict
heating/cooling capacity
• Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected
● To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:
• Adjust the temperature settings and fan speed
• Touch while in , and is set
• Touch while in , and ECO HEAT/COOL mode is canceled
■ Operation of the air conditio ning system in Eco drive mode
When ECO MODE switch is pressed, oper ations switch over to ECO HEAT/
COOL mode. ( →P. 183)
■ When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air condition-
ing system is on
● In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air condition-
ing system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This may also
reduce fuel consumption.
● Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the power switch
is turned to ON mode.
● It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing .

When the outside temperature is low
The dehumidification function 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 m\
ode.
● 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 automatic
mode.
■ Air conditioning filter
→P. 351
■ Changing the response of the switch for the air conditioning operation
panel
The reaction time, from when the switch is touched, can be changed by the
following operations.
The air conditioning cannot be operated during following operation.
Touch (decrease) and for about 3 seconds.
“01” ~ “05” is displayed in the monitor of the passenger side tempera-
ture.
Each time is touched, the reaction time switches over as follows.
01 (about 0.06 sec.) → 02 (about 0.08 sec.) → 03 (about 0.10 sec.) →
04 (about 0.12 sec.) → 05 (about 0.14 sec.)
With the desired setting displayed, without switching over the screen by
performing touch operations for about 5 seconds, when the power
switch is turned off the configuration is complete.
