into and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause
odor to be emitted from the vents.

• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside 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 conditioning system is started in automatic
mode.
