defogging may be insufficient due to the
power being restricted more than during
normal air conditioning operation. Also,
the outside of the windshield may fog up
due to the outside temperature, humidity
or air conditioning set temperature.

■
Conditioning System
When the outside temperature is low,
●
heating may feel insufficient due to
restricted operation of the air condi-
tioning.
When the outside heat exchanger

mance may decline due to automati-
cally switching to the frost removal
operation. (P.406)
