Air conditioning odors

●

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 emit-

ted 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 imme-

diately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.

.

CAUTION

■

To prevent the windshield from fogging up

Do not use

during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The dif-

ference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the windshield can

cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your vision.

NOTICE

■

To prevent battery discharge

Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the engine

is off.
