trim and to suppress airborne bacteria. The
high-density Plasmacluster® ions also have a
proven skin moisture preserving effect.
The Plasmacluster® icon on the CLIMATE
screen indicates the status of the Plasma-
cluster® ion emission from the system and
changes with the amount of the air flow.
Automatic air recirculation control with the
exhaust gas/outside odor detection sensor:
The Automatic Climate Control System comes
with an exhaust gas detection/outside odor
sensor. When the automatic air circulation
control is activated, the sensor detects odors
outside the vehicle such as pulp or chemicals,
and exhaust such as gasoline or diesel. When
such odors or gases are detected the display
and the system automatically change from
fresh air mode to the recirculation mode.
When the automatic air recirculation is on, for
the first 5 minutes, the air recirculation mode
is selected to prevent dust, dirt, and pollen
from entering the vehicle and to clean the air
inside of the vehicle.
After 5 minutes, the sensor detects exhaust
gas and automatically alternates between
the air recirculation mode and the fresh air
mode.The automatic air recirculation mode can be
activated under the following conditions.
• The air flow control is not in the front de-
froster mode (the indicator light on the
front defroster button is turned off).
