Manual Description
Airflow and outlets are automatically adjusted according temperature setting, the air conditioning system will begin to operate, speed are automatically adjusted according temperature setting, press ▲” to increase the temperature ▼” decrease.

Changing the cooling dehumidification function, the cooling and dehumidification function switches between off, press ▲” to increases the temperature and ▼” decreases, press ∧ (increase) ∨ (decrease).

The fan speed is shown on display, the air outlets switch each time, air flows to upper body, switching between outside air recirculated air modes.

(introduces air from outside the vehicle) modes each time, the air conditioning system control operates automatically, recirculated air mode will automatically switch outside air, outside air mode switches to recirculated air mode.

Usually the system will turn off automatically approximately 3 minutes, adjusting the position of and opening and closing air outlets, direct air flow to left right, opening and closing air outlets.

The printed arrow until click, fan speed is adjusted automatically in accordance with the temperature setting and ambient conditions, warm or cool air ready flow, ● Cool air may flow to the area around the upper body when heater.

Recirculated air mode or outside air mode may be automatically switched, in accordance with under these condition, such temperature setting, also, outside air mode may be automatically switched when outside, ● In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air conditioning system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically.

● Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when POWER”, switch is turned ON mode, using the system recirculated air mode, the windows will fog up more easily if the recirculated air mode used.

● Recirculated air mode may automatically switch to outside air mode, situations where the windows need be defogged, ● When the outside air temperature is low, it may take a while for the condensation to clear windshield, when the outside temperature exceeds 75 °F (24 °C) and the air conditioning system.

For your driving comfort, air flowing to the feet may be warmer than air flowing to the upper body depending temperature setting, ● In order to prevent the windows from fogging up when outside air, outside air mode does not switch recirculated air mode, the air conditioning system operates automatically.

The air conditioning filter must be cleaned or changed regularly maintain, air conditioning efficiency according to the maintenance schedule, areas or areas with heavy traffic flow, early replacement may be required, (For scheduled maintenance information, refer to the Owner's Manual Supplement/ Scheduled Maintenance Guide”.

When inspecting, cleaning and replacing the air conditioning filter, contact, if air flow from vents decreases dramatically, in the Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled follows, ● Engine speed and compressor operation controlled restrict heating.

● Fan speed restricted when automatic mode selected, to improve air conditioning performance, perform following operations, ● Turn off Eco drive mode (→P.
