● 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.
● To reduce potential odors from occur-
ring:
• It is recommended that the air condi-
tioning 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.
● When parking, the system automati-
cally switches to outside air mode to
encourage better air circulation
throughout the vehicle, helping to
reduce odors that occur when starting
the vehicle.

or hypothermia. Failure to do so may
result in death or serious injury.
■ To prevent the windshield from
fogging up
Do not use the windshield defogger
switch during cool air operation in

face of the windshield to fog up,
blocking your vision.
