S-FLOW mode Automatic air conditioning system S-FLOW mode Air conditioning system S-FLOW mode A/C S-FLOW mode S-FLOW mode 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. Operation in S-FLOW mode differs according to the following conditions: Priority is given to the driver’s seat only when (AWD models only. Except for Canada): Manual S-FLOW mode:When no passenger is judged to be in the front passenger seat. Automatic S-FLOW mode:When no passengers are judged to be in the front passenger seat or rear seats. Priority is given to the front seats when:Manual S-FLOW mode is selected or no passengers are judged to be in the rear seats when in automatic S-FLOW mode. S-FLOW mode will be disabled when:A passenger is judged to be in a rear seat when in automatic S-FLOW mode. Depending on the set temperature, operation in S-FLOW mode may not change as described above. When certain conditions are met and priority is given to the driver’s seat only, the temperature indicator for the front passenger side will turn off. Refer to Passenger presence determination in S-FLOW mode for details of how the system determines whether there are passengers. The following S-FLOW modes are available: Automatic S-FLOW mode When a rear passenger is determined to be in the vehicle (Passenger presence determination in S-FLOW mode), S-FLOW mode will be automatically disabled. The indicator will illuminate on the S-FLOW mode switch when S-FLOW mode is enabled. To enable/disable S-FLOW mode and enter manual S-FLOW mode, press the SFLOW mode switch. Manual S-FLOW mode When the S-FLOW mode switch is pressed, S-FLOW mode will be manually enabled/ disabled. The indicator will illuminate on the S-FLOW mode switch when S-FLOW mode is enabled. In this mode, the system does not determine whether a passenger is in the rear seats, so S-FLOW mode cannot be automatically disabled.

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. Note: Fogging up of the windows The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning “ A/C” on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the windshield effectively. If you turn “ A/C” 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. Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the temperature setting or the inside temperature. Passenger presence determination in S-FLOW mode The system determines that there is a passenger in any of the following situations. If a passenger is judged to be in the vehicle, the system will retain the judgment for a certain amount of time after the engine switch is turned off. Front passenger seat When the front passenger’s door is opened and closed When a passenger is sitting on the front passenger seat When the front passenger side seat belt is fastened When the front passenger seat set temperature is changed After only the front passenger side door is opened and closed, when the vehicle is driven at 12 mph (20 km/h) or more, the system determines that there is no passenger in the front passenger seat. Rear seats When a rear door is opened and closed Operation of automatic S-FLOW mode When the system is operating in S-FLOW mode, if a rear door is opened and then closed, S-FLOW mode will be disabled. To enable S-FLOW mode, select the S-FLOW mode switch. In this case, the system switches to manual S-FLOW mode. Changing from manual S-FLOW mode to automatic S-FLOW mode Press the S-FLOW mode switch to disable S-FLOW mode. The S-FLOW mode switch indicator will go off. Turn the engine switch off. After 60 minutes have elapsed, change the engine switch to ON mode. Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to prioritize fuel efficiency: 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 Turn off Eco drive mode (Driving mode select switch) Turn off Eco air conditioning 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 the Eco air conditioning mode switch. When the outside temperature is low The dehumidification function may not operate even when “ A/C” 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. 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. 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 Stop & Start system operations, the automatic air conditioning cooling, heating and dehumidification functions turn off and the fan speed is decreased according to the outside temperature etc. or air blowing stops. To stop the air conditioning system from turning off, press the Stop & Start cancel switch and refrain from using the Stop & Start 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.
