4386-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
turned on automatically. (P.422)
●To improve air conditioning perfor-
mance, perform the following
operations:
• Adjust the fan speed
• Deactivate Eco drive mode
( P.422)
• Turn off eco air conditioning mode

odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condi-
tioning 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.
●In order to suppress odors that
occur when the air conditioning
system starts, the air flow mode
may change to blow air to the feet
or air may stop blowing for a short
period of time immediately after
the air conditioning system is
started in automatic mode.
●When parking, the system auto-
matically switches to outside air
mode to encourage better air cir-
culation throughout the vehicle,
helping to reduce odors that occur
when starting the vehicle.
■Using the voice control system
(if equipped)
Air conditioning system can be
operated using voice control sys-
tem.
For details regarding the voice con-
trol system, refer to “MULTIMEDIA
OWNER’S MANUAL”.
