4505-11. Tips for operating the audio/visual system
5-11.Tips for operating the audio/visual system
●The use of a cellular phone inside 
or near the vehicle may cause a 
noise from the speakers of the 
audio/visual system which you are 
listening to. However, this does 
not indicate a malfunction.
Usually, a problem with radio 
reception does not mean there 
is a problem with the radio   it 
is just the normal result of condi-
tions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings 
and terrain can interfere with FM 
reception. Power lines or phone 
wires can interfere with AM sig-
nals. And of course, radio sig-
nals have a limited range. The 
farther the vehicle is from a sta-
tion, the weaker i ts signal will 
be. In addition, reception condi-
tions change constantly as the 
vehicle moves.
Here are some common recep-
tion problems that may not indi-
cate a problem with the radio as 
described.
■FM
Fading and drifting stations: 
Generally, the effective range of  FM is about 25 miles (40 km). 
Once outside this range, you 
may notice fading and drifting, 
which increase with the distance 
from the radio transmitter. They 
are often accompanied by dis-
tortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are 
reflective, making it possible for 
2 signals to reach the vehicle’s 
antenna at the same time. If this 
happens, the signals will cancel 
each other out, causing a 
momentary flutter or loss of 
reception.
Static and fluttering: These 
occur when signals are blocked 
by buildings, trees or other large 
objects. Increasing the bass 
level may reduce static and flut-
tering.
Station swapping: If the FM sig-
nal being listened to is inter-
rupted or weakened, and there 
is another strong station nearby 
on the FM band, the radio may 
tune in the second station until 
the original signal can be picked 
up again.
■AM
Fading: AM broadcasts are 
reflected by the upper atmo-
sphere   especially at night. 
These reflected signals can 
interfere with those received 
directly from the radio station, 
causing the radio station to 
sound alternately strong and 
weak.

Press the windshield defogger 
switch.
Set the outside/recirculated air 
mode switch to outside air mode if 
the recirculated air mode is used.

gers switch is on, the indicator illu-
minates on the rear window 
defogger and outside rear view mir-
ror defoggers switch.
The rear window defogger and mir-
ror heater automatically turn off 
after approximat ely 60 minutes.
However, the rear window defogger 
and mirror heater automatically turn 
off after approximately 15 minutes 
depending on conditions including 
the outside tem perature and 
charging system conditions.
■For quick cooling
Press the “MAX  A/C” switch. 
The air conditioning will automati-
cally turn on.
At this time, the fo llowing will occur:
●The recirculated air mode will be 
set
●The windshield defogger will turn 
off
●The air flow mode will change to 
the upper body mode
■Operation of the air condition-
ing system in Eco drive mode
In Eco drive mode, the air condition-
ing system is controlled to prioritize 
fuel efficiency by regulating the 
engine speed and compressor oper-
ation to restrict t he heating/cooling 
capacity.
To improve air con ditioning perfor-
mance, perform t he following opera-
tions:
●Adjust the fan speed
●Adjust the temperature setting
●Turn off Eco drive mode ( P.355)
■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up 
when the humidity in the vehicle is 
high. Turning the “A/C” switch on 
will dehumidify the air from the 
outlets and defog the windshield  effectively.
●If you turn the “A/C” switch off, the 
windows may fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the 
recirculated air mode is used.
■When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up 
by the vehicle is still drawn into the 
vehicle after closing the windows, it 
is recommended that the air intake 
mode be set to outside air mode 
and the fan speed  to any setting 
except off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
Setting to the recir culated air mode 
temporarily is recommended in pre-
venting dirty air from entering the 
vehicle interior and helping to cool 
the vehicle when the outside air 
temperature is high.
■When the outside temperature 
falls to nearly 32°F (0°C)
The dehumidification function may 
not operate even  when the “A/C” 
switch is pressed.
■Ventilation and air conditioning 
odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condi-
tioning system to the outside air 
mode.
●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 out-
side air mode prior to turning the 
vehicle off.
●When parking, the system auto-
matically switches to outside air 
mode to encourage better air cir-
culation throughout the vehicle, 
helping to reduce odors that occur 
when starting the vehicle.
