Vehicles with ”A/C” button—

Moving the air flow control lever to wind-
shield position turns on the defroster-
linked air conditioning. At this time, the
”A/C” button indicator comes on regard-
less of whether or not the ”A/C” button is
pressed in. This is to clean up the front
view more quickly.

When the ”A/C” button is not pressed in,
moving the air flow control lever to anoth-
er position turns off the air conditioning.

On humid days, do not blow cold air
on the windshield—the difference be-
tween the outside and inside tempera-
tures could make the fogging worse.
