tors to reduce odor absorbed into the interior
trim and to suppress airborne bacteria. The
LHA5281

high-density Plasmacluster®ions also have a
proven skin moisture preserving effect.
The Plasmacluster® icon on the CLIMATE
screen indicates the status of the Plasma-
cluster® ion emission from the system and
changes with the amount of the air flow.
Automatic air recirculation control with the
exhaust gas/outside odor detection sensor:
The Automatic Climate Control System
comes with an exhaust gas
detection/outside odor sensor. When the au-
tomatic air circulation control is activated, the
sensor detects odors outside the vehicle such
as pulp or chemicals, and exhaust such as
gasoline or diesel. When such odors or gases
are detected the display and the system au-
tomatically change from fresh air mode to the
recirculation mode.
When the automatic air recirculation is on, for
the first 5 minutes, the air recirculation mode
is selected to prevent dust, dirt, and pollen
from entering the vehicle and to clean the air
inside of the vehicle.
After 5 minutes, the sensor detects exhaust
gas and automatically alternates between
the air recirculation mode and the fresh air
mode.The automatic air recirculation mode can be
activated under the following conditions.
∙ The air flow control is not in the front defroster mode (the indicator light on
the
front defroster button is turned
off).
∙ The outside temperature is about 32°F (0°C) or more.
