To turn off the system, press the power
switch.

NOTE



Turn the temperature control dial to
adjust the temperature between 15 °C
(60 °F) and 29 °C (84 °F). Set the
control dial to the recommended
temperature of 22 °C (72 °F), and then
adjust it as desired.



Setting the temperature to maximum hot
or cold will not provide the desired
temperature at a faster rate.



When selecting heat, the system will
restrict airflow until the engine has
warmed to prevent cold air from
blowing out of the vents.

Windshield Defrosting and
Defogging

Press the windshield defroster switch.
In this position, the outside air position is
automatically selected, and the air
conditioner automatically turns on. The air
conditioner will directly dehumidify the
air to the front windshield and side
windows on page 5-4.
Airflow amount will be increased.

WARNING

Set the temperature control to the hot or

warm position when defogging (
position):

Using the 

 position with the

temperature control set to the cold position
is dangerous as it will cause the outside of
the windshield to fog up. Your vision will be
hampered, which could lead to a serious
accident.

NOTE



Fogging on the windows clears up more
easily while the air conditioner is on,
but they will fog up more easily if the air
conditioner is turned off.



Be careful that the windows do not fog
up when doing any of the following:



Switching to recirculate mode



Turning off the air conditioner



Use the temperature control dial to
increase the air flow temperature and
defog the windshield more quickly.

Sunlight/Temperature Sensor

The climate control system measures
inside and outside temperatures, humidity
and sunlight using the sunlight/
temperature sensor. It sets temperatures
inside the cabin accordingly.

CAUTION

Do not obstruct both sensors, otherwise the
climate control system will not operate
properly.
