6-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger

■Fogging up of the windows

●The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high.

Turning “A/C” button on will flow the dehumidified air from the outlets and

defog the windshield effectively.

●If you turn the “A/C” button 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 out-

side/recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effective

in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling

operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior

effectively.

■When the outside temperature falls to nearly 0°C (32°F)

The dehumidification function may not operate even when the “A/C” button is

pressed.

■Ventilation and air conditioning odors

●To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode.

●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into

and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odors

to be emitted 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.

■Air conditioning filter

WARNING

■To prevent the windshield from fogging up

●Do not use

during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The

difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the wind-

shield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking

your vision.

●Do not place anything on the instrument

panel which may cover the air outlets.

Otherwise, air flow may be obstructed,

preventing the windshield defoggers

from defogging.
