6-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
■
When the outside temperature
exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air
conditioning system is on
●
In order to reduce the air condi-
tioning power consumption, the air
conditioning system may switch to
recirculated air mode automati-
cally. This may also reduce fuel
consumption.
●
Recirculated air mode is selected
as a default mode when the power
switch is turned to ON.
●
It is possible to switch to outside
air mode at any time by pressing
the outside/recirculated air mode
switch.
■
Operation of the air condition-
ing system in Eco drive mode
●
In Eco drive mode, the air condi-
tioning system is controlled as fol-
lows to prioritize fuel efficiency:
• Engine speed and compressor
operation controlled to restrict
heating/cooling capacity
• Fan speed restricted when auto-
matic mode is selected
●
To improve air conditioning perfor-
mance, perform the following
operations:
• Turn off Eco drive mode (
• Turn off Eco air conditioning mode
●
When the driving mode is set to
Eco driving mode, the Eco air con-
ditioning mode will be turned on
automatically. Even in this case,
the Eco air conditioning mode can
be turned off by pressing the Eco
air conditioning mode switch.
■
When the outside temperature
falls to nearly 32°F (0°C)
The dehumidification function may
not operate even when “A/C” switch
is pressed.
■
Ventilation and air conditioning
odors
●
To let fresh air in, set the air condi-
tioning system to the outside air
mode.
●
During use, various odors from
inside and outside the vehicle may
enter into and accumulate in the
air conditioning system. This may
then cause odor to be emitted
from the vents.
●
To reduce potential odors from
occurring:
• It is recommended that the air
conditioning system be set to out-
side air mode prior to turning the
vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may
be delayed for a short period of
time immediately after the air con-
ditioning system is started in auto-
matic mode.
●
When parking, the system auto-
matically switches to outside air
mode to encourage better air cir-
culation throughout the vehicle,
helping to reduce odors that occur
when starting the vehicle.
