■Operating switches of the air conditioning system operation panel
●The pop-up display function that displays when the air conditioning settings
are changed using the air conditioning system switches can be turned off in
the “Meter Customize” settings. (P. 245)

●The setting status of the following air conditioning system functions are
reflected in the score.
• Temperature setting
• Fan speed setting
• Outside air and recirculated air modes
• “A/C” button
• S-FLOW mode
• “CLIMATE PREFERENCE”
●The Eco score (A/C score) is evaluated according to the ambient tempera-
ture and cabin temperature. Accordingly, even if the same settings are
always used for the air conditioning system, the evaluation will change
according to such factors as the season and weather.
●When the air conditioning system is not being used or the airflow mode is
set to or , the Eco score (A/C score) is not evaluated. (While the
air conditioning system is not evaluated, its usage status is not reflected in
the total Eco score result.)
●The Eco score (A/C score) is a function that helps select an air conditioning
system setting which reduces electricity and fuel consumption, not a func-
tion that satisfies both comfortability and low fuel consumption. ●When the air conditioning system
switches are operated to change the air
conditioning settings while a screen
other than the air conditioning system
settings screen is displayed on the multi-
information display, a pop-up display for
the air conditioning settings contents is
