- Using the automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically in accordance with the temperature setting and ambient conditions. As a result, the following may occur.
• Immediately after is pressed, the
fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow.
• Cool air may flow to the area around the upper body when the heater is on.
- Using the system in recirculated air mode
The windows will fog up more easily if the recirculated air mode is used for an extended period.
- Switching between outside air and recirculated air modes
Recirculated air mode or outside air mode may be automatically switched in accordance with the temperature setting and the inside temperature.
- When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) 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 help to improve fuel consumption.
• Vehicles with smart key system:
Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
Vehicles without smart key system:
Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position.

- 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.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time immediately after the air conditioning system is started in the automatic mode. Air flows to the feet for a certain period of time when the air starts to flow.
CAUTION
- 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.
NOTICE
- To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the engine is stopped.
