■Fogging up of the windows (type B only)

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

Turning

on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the wind-

shield effectively.

●If you turn

off, the windows may fog up more easily.

●The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.

■When driving on dusty roads (type B only)

Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehi-

cle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake mode be

set to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.

■Outside/recirculated air mode (type B only)

Setting to the recirculated air mode temporarily is recommended in prevent-

ing dirty air from entering the vehicle interior and helping to cool the vehicle

when the outside air temperature is high.

■When the outside temperature falls to nearly 0C (32F) (type B only)

The dehumidification function may not operate even when

is pressed.

■Ventilation and air conditioning odors (type B only)

●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 odor 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.

■An odor comes from the air conditioning system due to the Stop & Start

system operation (vehicles with a Stop & Start system)

When the engine is stopped due to the Stop & Start system, an odor caused

by moisture may be detected. This does not indicate a malfunction.

WARNING

■To prevent the windshield from fogging up

●Type B only: Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid

weather. The difference between the temperature of the outside air and

that of the windshield 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 to
