Notes regarding outside temperature display

In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be displayed, or

the display may take longer than normal to change.

●

When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 12 mph [20 km/h])

●

When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of a

garage, tunnel, etc.)

●

When it is extremely hot or cold outside the vehicle

■

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

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

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