Ventilation and air conditioning odors
To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning 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 outside air mode
prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time immedi-
ately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.

The air conditioning system adopts nanoe technology. This helps to fill the cabin
with refreshing air by emitting slightly acidic nanoe ions coated with water parti-
cles through the front center vent on driver's side
When the fan is turned on and "nanoe" on the option control screen is selected, the
nanoe is activated.
When the fan is operated in the following conditions, system performance will be
maximized. If the following conditions are not met, the nanoe may not operate at
full capacity.

• The front center vent on driver's side is open.
When nanoe is generated, a small amount of ozone is emitted and may be faintly
smelled in some situations. However, this is approximately the same as the amount
that already exists in nature, such as in forests, and it has no affect on the human
body.
A slight noise may be heard during operation. This is not a malfunction.
