●In order to maintain a comfortable interior, airflow may be directed to seats
without passengers immediately after the hybrid system is start ed and at
other times depending on the outside temperature.
● After the hybrid system is started, if passengers move around i nside or
enter/exit the vehicle, the system cannot accurately detect the presence of
passengers and automatic airflow control will not operate.
■ Operation of manual airflow control
Even if the function is manually switched to directing airflow to only the front
seats, when a rear seat is occupied, it may automatically direc t airflow to all
seats.
■ To return to automatic airflow control
