Fogging up of the windows

 Vehicles with the "A/C" button: The windows will easily fog up when the
humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning the "A/C" button on will dehumidify
the air from the outlets and defog the windshield effectively.
 Vehicles with the "A/C" button: 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 outside air temperature is low (vehicles with the "A/C" button)
The cooling and dehumidification function may not operate even when the "A/C"
button is pressed.


Air conditioning odors

 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.
