■For quick cooling (vehicles with air conditioning system)

Turn the

dial to the “MAX A/C” position and select the recirculated air

mode.

■Fogging up of the windows

●Vehicles with the

button: The windows will easily fog up when the

humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning

on will dehumidify the air from

off, the windows may fog

the outlets and defog the windshield effectively.

●Vehicles with the

button: If you turn

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 is low (vehicles with the

button)

The air conditioning system may not operate even when

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 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.

●Do not set the air outlet selector dial to

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

from defogging.

■To prevent burns (vehicles with outside rear view mirror defoggers)

Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mirror

defoggers are on.

■Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode (if equipped)

In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to pri-

oritize fuel efficiency:

●Engine speed controlled to restrict heating/cooling capacity.

●Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the

temperature setting or the inside temperature.

●Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected

To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:

●Adjust the fan speed.

●Turn off Eco drive mode. (P. 175)

■Using automatic mode

Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting and

the ambient conditions.

Calibrating the compass

The direction display deviates from the true direction determined by

the earth’s magnetic field. The amount of deviation varies according to

the geographic position of the vehicle.

If you cross over a map boundary shown in illustration, the compass will

deviate.

To obtain higher precision or perfect calibration, refer to the following.

■ Deviation calibration

1

Stop the vehicle.

2

Press and hold “AUTO” for 6

seconds.

A number (1 to 15) appears on

the compass display.

3

Press the switch and referring to the map above, select the num-

ber of the zone where you are.

If the direction is displayed several seconds after adjustment, the cali-

bration is complete.

■Conditions unfavorable to correct operation

The compass may not show the correct direction in the following conditions:

●The vehicle is stopped immediately after turning.

●The vehicle is on an inclined surface.

●The vehicle is in a place where the earth's magnetic field is subject to inter-

ference by artificial magnetic fields (underground car park/parking lot, under

a steel tower, between buildings, roof car park/parking lot, near an intersec-

tion, near a large vehicle, etc.).

●The vehicle has become magnetized.

(There is a magnet or metal object near the inside rear view mirror.)

●The battery has been disconnected.

●A door is open.

CAUTION

■While driving the vehicle

Do not adjust the display. Adjust the display only when the vehicle is

stopped.

■When doing the circling calibration

Secure a wide space, and watch out for people and vehicles in the neigh-

borhood. Do not violate any local traffic rules while performing circling cali-

bration.

NOTICE

■To avoid compass malfunctions

Do not place magnets or any metal objects near the inside rear view mirror.

Doing this may cause the compass sensor to malfunction.

■To ensure normal operation of the compass

●Do not perform circling calibration of the compass in a place where the

earth's magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields.

●During calibration, do not operate electric systems (moon roof, power win-

dows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.

CAUTION

■Burns

●Use caution when seating the following persons in a seat with the seat

heater on to avoid the possibility of burns:

• Babies, small children, the elderly, the sick and the physically chal-

lenged

• Persons with sensitive skin

• Persons who are fatigued

• Persons who have taken alcohol or drugs that induce sleep (sleeping

drugs, cold remedies, etc.)

●Do not cover the seat with anything when using the seat heater.

Using the seat heater with a blanket or cushion increases the temperature

of the seat and may lead to overheating.

●Do not use seat heater more than necessary. Doing so may cause minor

burns or overheating.

NOTICE

■To prevent seat heater damage

Do not put heavy objects that have an uneven surface on the seat and do

not stick sharp objects (needles, nails, etc.) into the seat.

■To prevent battery discharge

Turn the seat heaters off when the engine is not running.
