■ S-FLOW mode

5-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger

In S-FLOW mode, priority for the airflow is given to the front seats,

reducing the airflow and air conditioning effect on the rear seats.

When a passenger is not detected in the front passenger seat,

depending on the set temperature and ambient temperature, prior-

ity for the airflow will be given to the driver’s seat only.

However, air will always be blown from the side outlet of the front pas-

senger seat.

The following S-FLOW modes are available:

 Automatic S-FLOW mode

The system determines whether or not a rear passenger is in the

vehicle by the opening and closing of a rear door. When a rear pas-

senger is determined to be in the vehicle, S-FLOW mode will be

automatically disabled.

To enable S-FLOW mode again, press

and enter manual

S-FLOW mode. (P. 430)

The

indicator will illuminate when S-FLOW mode is enabled.

 Manual S-FLOW mode

When

is pressed, S-FLOW mode will be manually enabled/

disabled. (P. 430)

The

indicator will illuminate when S-FLOW mode is enabled.

When the power switch is turned to ON mode, the system is oper-

ated in automatic S-FLOW mode.

■Fogging up of the windows

●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

windshield effectively.

●If you turn

■Windshield fog detection function

When automatic mode is set, the humidity sensor (P. 433) detects fog on

the windshield and controls the air conditioning system to prevent fog.

■When driving on dusty roads

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

●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.

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

temperature setting or the inside temperature.

■Fresh air intake system while parking

When parking, the system automatically switches to outside air mode to

encourage better air circulation throughout the vehicle, helping to reduce

odors that occur when starting the vehicle.

■Operation of the air conditioning system in the air conditioning eco

mode

●In the air conditioning eco mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as

follows to prioritize fuel efficiency:

5

• Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict heating/

cooling capacity

• Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected

●To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:

• Adjust the fan speed

• Adjust the temperature setting

• Turn off the air conditioning eco mode

●When the driving mode is set to Eco driving mode, the air conditioning eco

mode will be turned on automatically. Even in this case, the air conditioning

eco mode can be turned off by pressing

. (P. 336)

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

The dehumidification function may not operate even when

is pressed.

■Ventilation and air conditioning odors

●To let the 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.

●In order to suppress odors that occur when the air conditioning system

starts, fresh air is automatically taken in when parked.

●To reduce potential odors from occurring, 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.

■Air conditioning filter

P. 536

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

windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, block-

ing 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

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

defoggers are on.

NOTICE

■Humidity sensor (if equipped)

In order to detect fog on the windshield, a

sensor which monitors the temperature

of the windshield, the surround humidity,

etc. is installed. (P. 431)

Follow these points to avoid damaging

the sensor:

●Do not disassemble the sensor

●Do not spray the glass cleaner on the sensor or subject it to strong impacts

●Do not stick anything on the sensor

■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge

Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the

hybrid system is off.

■Air outlets

The air outlets become hot when used for heating. Therefore, use caution

and adjust the air outlets accordingly.

cannot be done. When the door is opened and closed, charging may be

temporarily suspended.

●When charging, the wireless charging device and portable device will get

warmer, however this is not a malfunction.

When a portable device gets warm while charging, charging may stop due

to the protection function on the portable device side. In this case, when the

temperature of the portable device drops significantly, charge again.
