■To prevent the windshield from fog-
ging up
Do not use the windshield defogger

between the temperature of the outside
air and that of the windshield can cause
the outer surface of the windshield to fog
up, blocking your vision.
■When the outside rear view mirror
defoggers are operating
Do not touch the outside rear view mir-
ror surfaces, as they can become very
hot and burn you.
NOTICE

■Windshield fog detection function
When automatic mode is set, the humidity
sensor detects fog on the windshield and
controls the air conditioning system to pre-
vent fog.
■Automatic mode for air intake control
In automatic mode, the system detects
exhaust gas and other pollutants and auto-
matically switches between outside air and
recirculated air modes.
When the dehumidification function is off,
and the fan is operating, turning automatic
mode on will activate the dehumidification
function. The next time the dehumidification
function is turned off, the AUTO mode for
switching between outside air and recircu-
lated air modes is canceled.
This function automatically controls the
air conditioning airflo w so that priority is given to the front seats. When the
front passenger seat is not occupied,
airflow may switch to only the driver’s
seat. Unnecessary air conditioning is
suppressed, contributing to increased
fuel efficiency.
