5-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
■
Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting and
the ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow
immediately after the "AUTO" button is pressed.
■
Fogging up of the windows
●
The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high.
Turning the "A/C" button on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog
the windshield effectively.
●
If you turn the "A/C" button 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, press the
recirculated air mode button. This is effective in preventing outside air from
entering the vehicle interior. During cooling operation, setting the recircu-
lated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.
●
Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.
■
When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehi-
cle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake mode be
set to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.
