Press the windshield defogger switch.
Set the outside/recirculated air mode switch to outside air mode if the recirculated air mode is used. (It may switch automatically.)
To defog the windshield and the front side windows quickly, turn the air flow and temperature up.
To return to the previous mode, press the windshield defogger switch again when the windshield is defogged.

∎ Fogging up of the windows

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

∎ When driving on dusty roads

Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake mode be set to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.

∎ Outside/recirculated air mode

Setting to the recirculated air mode temporarily is recommended in preventing dirty air from entering the vehicle interior and helping to cool the vehicle when the outside air temperature is high.

∎ When the outside temperature is low (vehicles with heater)

The dehumidification function may not operate even when the “A/C” switch is pressed.

∎ Ventilation and air conditioning odors

• To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode.
• 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.
