Press  .
The mode  switches between  outside  air  mode  (introduces  air from
outside  the  vehicle)  (indicator  off)  and  recirculated  air  mode  (recy-
cles  air  inside  the  vehicle)  (in dicator  on)  each  time  the  butto n  is
pressed.

3425-1. Using the air conditioning system
■Fogging up of the windows
●The  windows  will  easily  fog  up  when  the  humidity  in  the  vehicle   is  high.
Turning   on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog  the wind-
shield effectively. 
● If you turn   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 vehi-
cle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air i ntake 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  prevent-
ing  dirty  air  from  entering  the  vehicle  interior  and  helping  to cool the vehicle
when the outside air temperature is high.
■ When the outside temperature exceeds 75 F (24 C) and air conditioning
system is on
● In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the  air condition-
ing system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This may also
reduce fuel consumption.
● Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the en gine switch
is  in  the  “ON”  position  (vehicles  without  a  smart  key  system)  o r  IGNITION
ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system).
● It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pre ssing  .
■ When the outside tempera ture falls to nearly 32F (0 C)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when   is pre ssed.
■ Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the out side air mode.
● During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle m ay enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then ca use odor to
be emitted from the vents.
● To reduce potential odors from occurring: 
It  is  recommended  that  the  air  conditioning  system  be  set  to  ou tside  air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.

WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
● Do not use
  during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temperature of the outside air and that  of the wind-
shield  can  cause  the  outer  surface  of  the  windshield  to  fog  up,  blocking
your vision.
■ To prevent burns
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rea r view mirror
defoggers are on.
NOTICE
■ To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessa ry when the
engine is stopped.
● Do not place anything on the instrument
panel  which  may  cover  the  air  outlets.
Otherwise,  air  flow  may  be  obstructed,
preventing  the  windshield  defoggers  to
defog.
