WARNING
■
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, block-
ing your vision.
■
To prevent burns
●
Vehicles with outside rear view mirror defoggers: Do not touch the rear
view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mirror defoggers are on.
●
Vehicles with windshield wiper de-icer: Do not touch the glass at lower part
of the windshield or to the side of the front pillars when the windshield
wiper de-icer is on.
NOTICE
■
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the
hybrid system is off.
●
Do not place anything on the instrument
panel which may cover the air outlets.
Otherwise, air flow may be obstructed,
preventing the windshield defoggers
from defogging.
