QFogging up of the windows
OThe windows will easily fog up when
the humidity in the vehicle is high.
Turning “A/C” switch on will dehumid-
ify the air from the outlets and defog
the windshield effectively.
OIf you turn “A/C” switch off, the win-
dows may fog up more easily.
OThe windows may fog up if the recir-
culated air mode is used.
QWhile using “My Room Mode”
OIt may not be possible to obtain the
intended defogging performance even
if is pressed. If the windows
need to be defogged before driving,
stop charging power and then press
.
OWhen the outside temperature is low,
heating may feel insufficient due to
restricted operation of the air condi-
tioning. Heating cannot be performed
when it is -10°C (14°F) or less as the gasoline engine cannot be started
during “My Room Mode”. If heating is
desired, stop charging and remove
the AC charging cable from the vehi-
cle.
QWhen 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 recom-
mended that the air intake mode be set
to outside air mode and the fan speed to
any setting except off.
QOutside/recirculated air mode
OSetting to the recirculated 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 tempera-
ture is high.
OOutside/recirculated air mode may
automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside tem-
perature.
QOperation of the air conditioning
system in Eco drive mode
OIn Eco drive mode, the air conditioning
system is controlled as follows to pri-
oritize fuel efficiency:
• Engine speed and compressor opera-
tion controlled to restrict heating/cool-
ing capacity
• Fan speed restricted when automatic
mode is selected
OTo improve air conditioning perfor-
mance, perform the following opera-
tions:
• Turn off Eco drive mode (P.387)
• Turn off blower customization
