Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to prioritize
fuel efficiency:
●
Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict heating/cooling
capacity
●
Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected
To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:
●
Adjust the fan speed
●
Turn off Eco drive mode
The air conditioning control of Eco drive mode can be changed to the same setting
as that used in normal drive mode. (Customizable features

■
Using the automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically in accordance with the temperature setting and
ambient conditions. As a result, the following may occur:
●
Immediately after the “AUTO” switch is pressed, the fan may stop for a while until
warm or cool air is ready to flow.
●
Cool air may flow to the area around the upper body when the heater is on.
■
Fogging up of the windows
●
The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Selecting
“A/C” on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the windshield effec-
tively.
●
If you turn “A/C” 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 outside/
recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in pre-
venting outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling operation, set-
ting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.
●
Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the tem-
perature setting or the inside temperature.
