■

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 immedi-

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

ence 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.
