■
Fogging up of the windows
●
The windows will easily fog up when
the humidity in the vehicle is high.
Turning “A/C” switch on will dehumid-
ify the air from the outlets and defog
the windshield effectively.
●
If you turn “A/C” switch off, the win-
dows may fog up more easily.
●
The windows may fog up if the recir-
culated air mode is used.
■ While using “My Room Mode”
●
It may not be possible to obtain the
intended defogging performance even
if is pressed. If the windows
need to be defogged before driving,
stop charging power and then press
.
● When the outside temperature is low,
heating may feel insufficient due to
restricted operation of the air condi-
tioning. Heating cannot be performed
when it is -10°C (14°F) or less as the
gasoline engine cannot be started
during “My Room Mode”. If heating is
desired, stop charging and remove
the charging cable from the vehicle.
■ When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by
the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle
after closing the windows, it is recom-
mended that the air intake mode be set
to outside air mode and the fan speed to
any setting except off.
■ Outside/recirculated air mode
● Setting to the recirculated air mode
temporarily is recommended in pre-
venting dirty air from entering the
vehicle interior and helping to cool the
vehicle when the outside air tempera-
ture is high.
● Outside/recirculated air mode may
automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside tem-
perature.
■
Operation of the air conditioning
system in Eco drive mode
●
In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning
system is controlled as follows to pri-
oritize fuel efficiency:
• Engine speed and compressor opera-
tion controlled to restrict heating/cool-
ing capacity
• Fan speed restricted when automatic
mode is selected
●
To improve air conditioning perfor-
mance, perform the following opera-
tions:
• Turn off Eco drive mode (

P.388)
• Turn off blower customization
(

P.408)
■ When the outside temperature falls
to nearly 0°C (32°F)
The dehumidification function may not
operate even when “A/C” switch is
pressed.
■ Ventilation and air conditioning
odors
● To let fresh air in, set the air condition-
ing system to the outside air mode.
