●In order to reduce the air conditioning
power consumption, the air conditioning
system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This may also
reduce fuel consumption.

●It is possible to switch to outside air mode
at any time by pressing the outside/recir-
culated air mode switch.

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 recirculated air mode tem-
porarily is recommended in preventing
dirty air from entering the vehicle interior
and helping to cool the vehicle when the
outside air temperature is high.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may auto-
matically switch depending on the tem-
perature setting or the inside
temperature.

position memory)
●Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic
key and turning the power switch to ON
mode will recall that key’s registered air
conditioning settings.
●When the power switch is turned off, the
current air conditioning settings will auto-
matically be registered to the electronic
key that was used to unlock the vehicle.

■To prevent the windshield from fog-
ging up

ror surfaces, as they can become very
hot and burn you.
