fuel efficiency. Perform the following procedures to increase the air conditioning
performance.Vehicles with automatic air conditioning system: Turn eco air conditioning mode off
(Eco air conditioning mode)Adjust the fan speed (Fan speed setting, Setting the fan speed)Cancel Eco drive modeCanceling a driving modeSport mode is automatically canceled and the driving mode returns to normal mode when
the engine switch is turned off.Normal mode and Eco drive mode are not canceled until another driving mode is selected.
(Even if the engine switch is turned off, normal mode and Eco drive mode will not
be automatically canceled.)
