If “ A/C” switch is not pressed, the system will blow ambient temperature air or heated air. Fan speed setting To adjust the fan speed, turn the fan speed control switch clockwise (increase) or counterclockwise (decrease). Pressing the on/off switch turns off the fan. When the fan is off, pressing the on/off switch or turning the fan speed control switch will turn on the fan. Change the airflow mode Press the airflow mode control switch. The airflow mode changes as follows each time the switch is pressed. Upper body Upper body and feet Feet Feet and the windshield defogger operates Switching between outside air and recirculated air modes Press the outside/recirculated air mode switch. The mode switches between outside air mode and recirculated air mode each time the switch is operated. When recirculated air mode is selected, the indicator illuminates on the outside/ recirculated air mode switch. Set cooling and dehumidification function Press the “ A/C” switch. When the function is on, the indicator illuminates on the “ A/C” switch. Windshield defogger Switches Windshield defogger switch Defogger Windshield Defogging the windshield Defoggers are used to defog the windshield and front side windows. Press the windshield defogger switch. Set the outside/recirculated air mode switch to outside air mode if the recirculated air mode is used. To defog the windshield and the side windows quickly, turn the air flow and temperature up. To return to the previous mode, press the windshield defogger switch again when the windshield is defogged. When the windshield defogger switch is on, the indicator illuminates on the windshield defogger switch. Windows Rear window defogger Switches Rear window and outside rear view mirror defoggers switch Side mirrors Heaters Rear window defogger Outside rear view mirrors Outside rear view mirror defoggers Mirrors Outside rear view mirror defoggers Heaters Outside rear view mirrors Defogger Rear window Defogger Outside rear view mirrors Defogging the rear window and outside rear view mirrors (if equipped) Defoggers are used to defog the rear window, and to remove raindrops, dew and frost from the outside rear view mirrors (if equipped). Press the rear window defogger and outside rear view mirror defoggers switch. When the rear window defogger and outside rear view mirror defoggers switch is on, the indicator illuminates on the rear window defogger and outside rear view mirror defoggers switch. The defoggers will automatically turn off after a while. Note: For quick cooling Press the “ MAX A/C” switch. The air conditioning will automatically turn on. At this time, the following will occur: The recirculated air mode will be set The windshield defogger will turn off The air flow mode will change to the upper body mode Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled to prioritize fuel efficiency by regulating the engine speed and compressor operation to restrict the heating/cooling capacity. To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations: Adjust the fan speed Adjust the temperature setting Turn off Eco drive mode (Driving mode select switch) Fogging up of the windows The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning the “ A/C” switch on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the windshield effectively. If you turn the “ A/C” switch 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 outside/recirculated air mode switch 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 The dehumidification function may not operate even when the “ A/C” switch 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. 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. Air conditioning system operations when the engine is stopped due to the Stop & Start system (vehicles with Stop & Start system) When the engine is stopped due to the Stop & Start system operations, the air conditioning cooling, heating and dehumidification functions turn off and only ambient temperature air is blown, and there is a possibility that the blowing of ambient temperature air will stop. To prevent the air conditioning system from turning off, press the Stop & Start cancel switch to deactivate the system. When the windshield is fogged up and the engine is stopped due to the Stop & Start system (vehicles with Stop & Start system) Press the windshield defogger switch to restart the engine and defog the windshield. If the windshield continuously fogs up, press the Stop & Start cancel switch and refrain from using the Stop & Start system. When an odor comes from the air conditioning system while the engine is stopped due to the Stop & Start system (vehicles with Stop & Start system) Press the Stop & Start cancel switch to restart the engine. Air conditioning filter Air conditioning filter Warning: To prevent the windshield from fogging up Do not use the windshield defogger switch 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. When the outside rear view mirror defoggers are operating (if equipped) Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mirror defoggers are on. Notice: To prevent battery discharge Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the engine is off. Air outlet layout and operations Location of air outlets The air outlets and air volume change according to the selected airflow mode. If equipped Adjusting the air flow direction and opening/closing the air outlets Front Direct air flow to the left or right, up or down. Open the vent Close the vent Rear (if equipped) Direct air flow to the left or right, up or down Open the vent Close the vent Warning: To not interrupt the windshield defogger from operating 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.
