● The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high.
Pressing on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the
windshield effectively.

● The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
■ Outside/recirculated air mode
● When driving on dusty roads, in tunnels, or in heavy traffic set to the
recirculated air mode. This is effective in preventing outside air from enter-
ing the vehicle interior. During cooling operation, setting the recirculated air
mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.
● Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.

be emitted from the vents.

It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
