NOTE
In extreme cold, the air conditioning control
panel screen may operate sluggishly. This
does not indicate a problem.
It will disappear when the vehicle interior
temperature rises to a normal temperature.
Demisting of the windscreen
and door windows
CAUTION
For safety, make sure you have a clear view
through all the windows.
When setting the MODE switch to the “
”
position, it also can prevent the windows
from fogging up. But the air conditioning
system does not operate automatically and
outside air (as opposed to recirculated air) is
not selected. If operating the air conditioning
system and switching to outside air, press the
air conditioning switch and the air selection
switch.
Do not set the temperature to the max. cool
position. Cool air will blow against the win-
dow glasses and prevent demisting.
NOTE
When demisting quick, set the blower to the
maximum speed and the temperature to the
highest position.
To demist the door windows effectively,
direct the air flowing of the side ventilators
towards the door windows.
When the demister switch is pressed, the air
conditioning system automatically operates
and outside air (as opposed to recirculated
air) is selected. This automatic switching
control is carried out to prevent misting of
the windows even if “Disable automatic air
conditioning control” or “Disable automatic
air control” is set. (Refer to “Customising the
air conditioning switch” on page 7-11, “Cus-
tomising the air selection” on page 7-12.)
