2825-3. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
In S-FLOW mode, priority for the air-
flow is given to the front seats, reducing
the airflow and air conditioning effect
on the rear seats.
The following S-FLOW modes are
available:
Automatic S-FLOW mode
When a rear passenger is determined
to be in the vehicle, S-FLOW mode will
be automatically disabled.
The indicator will illuminate on the air con-
ditioning control screen when S-FLOW
mode is enabled.
To enable/disable S-FLOW mode and
enter manual S-FLOW mode, select the S-
FLOW mode switch ( P.280).
Manual S-FLOW mode
When the S-FLOW mode switch is
selected, S-FLOW mode will be manu-
ally enabled/disabled.
The indicator will illuminate on the air con-
ditioning control screen when S-FLOW
mode is enabled.
The system does not determine whether a
passenger is in the rear seats by the open-
ing and closing of a rear door, so S-FLOW mode cannot be automatically disabled.
To automatically disable S-FLOW mode by
opening and closing a rear door, switch to
automatic S-FLOW mode.
■S-FLOW air conditioning control
Operation of S-FLOW mode changes
according to the following conditions.
However, depending on the set tem-
perature and air conditioning load is
high, the operation may not change.
Driver seat priority:
• When the system determines there is no
passenger in the front passenger seat in
manual S-FLOW mode
• When the system determines there are no passengers in the front passenger
seat and rear seats in automatic S-
FLOW mode
The airflow to the front passenger seat and
rear seat stops and the front passenger
temperature display turns off.
Front seat priority:
When the system determines there are no
passengers in the rear seats
S-FLOW disabled:
When the system determines there is a
passenger in the rear seats
■Passenger presence determination in S-
FLOW mode
The system determines that there is a pas-
senger in any of the following situations.
If a passenger is judged to be in the vehicle,
the system will retain the judgment for a
certain amount of time after the power
switch is turned off.

Remove dirt using a water-damp-
ened soft cloth or synthetic chamois.
Wipe the surface with a dry soft
cloth to remove any remaining
moisture.
■Cleaning the areas with satin-finish
metal accents
The metal areas use a layer of real metal for
the surface. It is necessary to clean them
regularly. If dirty area s are left uncleaned for
long periods of time, they may be difficult to
clean.
■Cleaning the leather
Remove dirt and dust using a vac-
uum cleaner.
Wipe off any excess dirt and dust
with a soft cloth dampened with
diluted detergent.
Use a diluted water solution of approxi-
mately 5% neutral wool detergent.
Wring out any excess water from
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off all
remaining traces of detergent.
Wipe the surface with a dry, soft
cloth to remove any remaining
moisture. Allow the leather to dry in
a shaded and ventilated area.
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
●Do not use the following types of
detergent, as they may discolor the
vehicle interior or cause streaks or
damage to painted surfaces:
• Non-seat portions: Organic sub- stances such as benzene or gasoline,
alkaline or acidic solutions, dye, and
bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solutions, such as thinner, benzene, and alcohol
●Do not use polish wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel’s or
other interior part’s painted surface
may be damaged.
■Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system
may be damaged if water comes into
contact with electrical components such
as the audio system above or under the
floor of the vehicle. Water may also
cause the body to rust.
■When cleaning the inside of the wind-
shield
Do not allow glass cleaner to contact the
lens. Also, do not touch the lens.
( P.192)
■Cleaning the inside of the rear win-
dow
●Do not use glass cleaner to clean the
rear window, as this may cause dam-
age to the rear window defogger
heater wires or antenna. Use a cloth
dampened with lukewarm water to
gently wipe the window clean. Wipe
the window in strokes running parallel
to the heater wires or antenna.
●Be careful not to scratch or damage
the heater wires or antenna.
