Interior features

■ When the outside temperature falls to nearly 32F (0C)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when is pressed or “A/C” is
selected.
■ Ventilation and air conditioning odors
● To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode.
● During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into and accu-
mulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to be emitted from the
vents.
● To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air mode prior
to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time immediately
after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.
■ Air conditioning filter

■ Customization
Settings (e.g. A/C Auto switch operation) can be changed.

■ To prevent the windshield from fogging up
● Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The differ-
ence between the temperature of the outside air and that of the windshield 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 rear view mirror defog-
gers are on.
● Do not touch the glass at lower part of the windshield or to the side of the front pillars
when the windshield wiper de-icer is on.
■ To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the engine is
stopped.
● Do not place anything on the instrument
panel which may cover the air outlets. Other-
wise, air flow may be obstructed, preventing
the windshield defoggers from defogging.
