Q Ventilation and air conditioning odors
O To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning
system to the outside air mode.
O 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.
O 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 auto-
matic mode.
O On some models: When parking, the sys-
tem automatically switches to outside air
mode to encourage better air circulation
throughout the vehicle, helping to reduce
odors that occur when starting the vehi-
cle.
O To reduce potential odors from occur-
ring:
• It is recommended that the air condition-
ing 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.
