■ Fogging up of the windows
● The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Selecting
“A/C” on the operation screen on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog
the windshield effectively.
● If you turn “A/C” off, the windows may fog up more easily.
● The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
■ Outside/recirculated air mode
● When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the outside/
recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in pre-
venting outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling operation, set-
ting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.
● Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the tem-
perature setting or the inside temperature.
■ When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air conditioning sys-
tem is on
● In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air conditioning
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 power switch is
turned on.
● It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing .
■ When the hybrid battery cooling system operates
● If the hybrid battery cooling system operates when the air conditioning is off, a
message will be shown on the multi-information display and the air conditioning will
automatically turn on. (P. 105)
● The sound of the air flow may change when cool air flows from the rear roof vents
or the air purifier is in operation. This occurs when the hybrid battery is being
cooled and does not indicate a malfunction.
