: Some models

■ Adjusting the position of and opening and closing the air outlets

► Front center outlets Direct air flow to the left or right, up or down.

► Front side outlets Direct air flow to the left or right, up or down.

1 Close the vent
Sliding the knob to the most outer position.

2 Open the vent

■For quick cooling (vehicles with air conditioning system)

Turn the dial to the “MAX A/C” position and select the recirculated air mode.

■Fogging up of the windows

●Vehicles with the button: The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the windshield effectively.

●Vehicles with the button: If you turn 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 preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.

■When the outside temperature is low (vehicles with the button)

The air conditioning system may not operate even when is pressed.

■Air conditioning odors

●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 outside air mode prior to turning the vehicle off.

■Air conditioning filter

CAUTION

■To prevent the windshield from fogging up

●Do not set the air outlet selector dial to during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your vision.

●Do not place anything on the instrument panel which may cover the air outlets.

Otherwise, air flow may be obstructed, preventing the windshield defoggers from defogging.

■To prevent burns (vehicles with outside rear view mirror defoggers)

Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mirror defoggers are on.

NOTICE

■To prevent battery discharge

Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the engine is stopped.
