■When the outside temperature exceeds 75ºF (24ºC) and the air conditioning system is on

In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air conditioning system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically.

This may also reduce fuel consumption.

■Fogging up of the windows

• The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning "A/C" on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the windshield effectively.
• If you turn "A/C" off, the windows may fog up more easily.

■Eco air conditioning mode

When Eco drive mode is selected using the driving mode select switch, eco air conditioning mode turns on.

When a drive mode other than Eco drive mode is selected, eco air conditioning mode may turn off.

■Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode

• In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to prioritize fuel efficiency:
  • Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict heating/cooling capacity
  • Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected
• To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:
  • Adjust the fan speed
  • Turn off Eco drive mode
  • Turn off Eco air conditioning mode
• When the driving mode is set to Eco driving mode, the air conditioning eco mode will be turned on automatically. Even in this case, the air conditioning eco mode can be turned off by pressing the Eco air conditioning mode switch.

■When the outside temperature is low

The dehumidification function may not operate even when "A/C" is pressed.

Using automatic mode

1. Press the automatic mode switch.

The dehumidification function begins to operate. Air outlets and fan speed are automatically adjusted according to the temperature setting and humidity.

2. Adjust the temperature setting.

3. To stop the operation, press the "OFF" switch.

If the fan speed setting or air flow modes are operated, the automatic mode indicator goes off. However, automatic mode for functions other than that operated is maintained.

■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 automatic mode switch is pressed.
