3-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
■ Air conditioning odors
● 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 emit-
ted 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 imme-
diately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.
■ To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The dif-
ference 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 battery discharge
Do not leave the automatic air conditioning system on longer than necessary when
the engine is stopped.
