Using the air conditioning system and defogger
INTERIOR FEATURES
• The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning
on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the windscreen effectively.
If you turn
off, the windows may fog up more easily.
The windows may fog up more easily if the recirculated air mode is used.
• Keep the area under the front seats clear to allow air to circulate throughout the
vehicle.
• On cold days, set the fan speed to high for a minute to help clear the intake ducts of
snow or moisture. This can reduce the amount of fogging on the windows.
• 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 recommended the air intake
selector be set to FRESH and the fan speed selector to any setting except OFF.
• If following another vehicle on a dusty road, or driving in windy and dusty conditions,
it is recommended the air intake selector be temporarily set to RECIRCULATE, which
will close off the outside passage and prevent outside air and dust from entering the
vehicle interior.
• When the outside temperature falls to nearly 0˚C the dehumidification function may
not operate even when
is pressed.
CAUTION
To prevent the windscreen from fogging up do not use
with the air conditioning
on in extremely humid weather.
The difference in temperature between the outside air and the windscreen can cause the
outer surface of the windscreen 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.
