■ Fogging up of the windows
●
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 wind-
shield effectively.
●
If you turn off, the windows may fog up more easily.
●
The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
■ Outside/recirculated air mode
●
When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effec-
tive in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During
cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle
interior effectively.
●
Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.
