■
Defogging the windshield
Defoggers are used to defog the wind-
shield and front side windows.
Press the windshield defogger switch.
Set the outside/recirculated air mode but-
ton to outside air mode if the recirculated
air mode is used. (It may switch automati-
cally.)
To defog the windshield and the side win-
dows early, turn the air flow and tempera-
ture up.
To return to the previous mode, press the
windshield defogger switch again when the
windshield is defogged.
When the windshield defogger switch is
on, the indicator illuminates on the wind-
shield defogger switch.
■
Defogging the rear window and
outside rear view mirrors
Defoggers are used to defog the rear
window, and to remove raindrops, dew
and frost from the outside rear view
mirrors.
Press the rear window and outside rear
view mirror defoggers switch.
The defoggers will automatically turn off
after a period of time.
When the rear window and outside rear
view mirror defoggers switch is on, the
indicator illuminates on the rear window
and outside rear view mirror defoggers
switch.
■ When the outside temperature exceeds
75°F (24°C) and the air conditioning
system is on
● In order to reduce the air conditioning
power consumption, the air conditioning
system may switch to recirculated air
mode automatically. This may also
reduce fuel consumption.
● Recirculated air mode is selected as a
default mode when the engine switch is
turned to IGNITION ON mode.
● It is possible to switch to outside air mode
at any time by pressing the outside/recir-
culated air mode switch.
■
Fogging up of the windows
The windows will easily fog up when the
humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning A/C
switch (“A/C”) on will dehumidify the air
from the outlets and defog the windshield
effectively.
●
If you turn A/C switch (“A/C”) off, the
windows may fog up more easily.
●
The windows may fog up if the recircu-
lated air mode is used.
■ 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
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 tem-
porarily is recommended in preventing
dirty air from entering the vehicle interior
and helping to cool the vehicle when the
outside air temperature is high.
●
Outside/recirculated air mode may auto-
matically switch depending on the tem-
perature setting or the inside
temperature.
■ Registering air conditioning settings to
electronic keys (vehicles with driving
position memory)
● Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic
key and turning the engine switch to
IGNITION ON mode will recall that
key’s registered air conditioning settings.
● When the engine switch is turned off, the
current air conditioning settings will auto-
matically be registered to the electronic
key that was used to unlock the vehicle.
● The system may not operate correctly if
more than one electronic key is in the
vicinity or if the smart access system with
push-button start is used to unlock a pas-
