Outside/recirculated air mode
- ?When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set
the outside/
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.
- Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.
When the outside temperature exceeds 75ƒâ€¹f (24ƒâ€¹c) and the air
conditioning
system is on
- In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air
conditioning
system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This may also
reduce fuel consumption.
- Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the engine
switch
is turned to "on" position.
- It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing
.
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.

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,
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
- Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear
view mirror
defoggers are on.
- Do not touch the glass at lower part of the windshield or to the
side of the
front pillars when the windshield wiper de-icer is on.
