The defoggers will automatically turn off
after a while.
■Fogging up of the windows
●Vehicles with the “A/C” switch: The
windows will easily fog up when the
humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning “A/C” switch is on will dehumidify the
air from the outlets and defog the
windshield effectively.
●Vehicles with the “A/C” switch: If you
turn “A/C” switch is off, the windows may fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the recir-culated air mode is used.
■When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by
the vehicle is still dr awn into the vehicle after closing the windows, it is recom-
mended 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 temporarily is recommended in pre-
venting dirty air from entering the
vehicle interior.
●Vehicles with the “A/C” switch: During
cooling operation, setting the recircu-
lated air mode will also cool the vehi- cle interior effectively.
■When the outside temperature falls
to nearly 0°C (32°F) (vehicles with
the “A/C” switch)
The dehumidification function may not
operate even when “A/C” switch is
pressed.
■Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condition-ing 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.
●It is recommended that the air condi-
tioning system be set to outside air mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
●When parking, the system automati-cally switches to outside air mode to
encourage better air circulation
throughout the vehicle, helping to reduce odors that occur when starting
the vehicle.

■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use the windshield defogger
switch during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The differ-
ence 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 mir-
ror defoggers are operating
Do not touch the outside rear view
mirror surfaces, as they can become
very hot and burn you.
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning sys-
tem on longer than necessary when the engine is off.
