*: If equipped
If “A/C” switch is not pressed, the system will blow ambient tempera- ture air or heated air.
Pressing the on/off switch turns off the fan.
When the fan is off, pressing the on/off switch or turning the fan speed control switch will turn on the
fan.
The airflow mode changes as fol- lows each time the switch is pressed.
Press the outside/recirculated air mode switch.
The mode switches between outside air mode and recircu- lated air mode each time the switch is operated.
When recirculated air mode is selected, the indicator illuminates on the outside/ recirculated air mode switch.
When the function is on, the indica- tor illuminates on the “A/C” switch.
Press the windshield defogger switch.
Set the outside/recirculated air mode switch to outside air mode if the recirculated air mode is used.
To defog the windshield and the 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.
When the windshield defogger switch is on, the indicator illumi- nates on the windshield defogger switch.
Press the rear window defogger and outside rear view mirror defoggers switch.
When the rear window defogger and outside rear view mirror defog-
gers switch is on, the indicator illu- minates on the rear window defogger and outside rear view mir- ror defoggers switch.
The defoggers will automatically turn off after a while.
Press the “MAX A/C” switch.
The air conditioning will automati- cally turn on.
At this time, the following will occur:
In Eco drive mode, the air condition- ing system is controlled to prioritize fuel efficiency by regulating the engine speed and compressor oper- ation to restrict the heating/cooling capacity.
To improve air conditioning perfor- mance, perform the following opera- tions:
When driving on dusty roads such
as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the outside/recirculated air mode switch to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior.
During cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.
The dehumidification function may not operate even when the “A/C” switch is pressed.
It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to out- side air mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
When the engine is stopped due to the Stop & Start system operations, the air conditioning cooling, heating and dehumidification functions turn off and only ambient temperature air is blown, and there is a possibility that the blowing of ambient tem- perature air will stop. To prevent the air conditioning system from turning
off, press the Stop & Start cancel switch to deactivate the system.
Press the windshield defogger switch to restart the engine and defog the windshield.
If the windshield continuously fogs up, press the Stop & Start cancel switch and refrain from using the Stop & Start system.
Press the Stop & Start cancel switch to restart the engine.

When the eco air conditioning mode is on, the indicator illumi- nates on the eco air conditioning mode switch.
Operation in S-FLOW mode dif- fers according to the following conditions:
When no passenger is judged to be in the front passenger seat.
Manual S-FLOW mode is selected or no passengers are judged to be in the rear seats when in automatic S- FLOW mode.
A passenger is judged to be in a rear seat when in automatic
S-FLOW mode.
Depending on the set tempera- ture, operation in S-FLOW mode may not change as described above.
When certain conditions are met and priority is given to the driver’s seat only, the tempera- ture indicator for the front pas- senger side will turn off.
Refer to P.512 for details of how the system determines whether there are passengers.
The following S-FLOW modes are available:
’ Automatic S-FLOW mode
When a rear passenger is deter- mined to be in the vehicle (P.512), S-FLOW mode will be automatically disabled.
The indicator will illuminate on the S-FLOW mode switch when S- FLOW mode is enabled.
To enable/disable S-FLOW mode and enter manual S-FLOW mode, press the SFLOW mode switch.
When the S-FLOW mode switch is pressed, S-FLOW mode will be manually enabled/ disabled.
The indicator will illuminate on the S-FLOW mode switch when S- FLOW mode is enabled.
In this mode, the system does not determine whether a passenger is in the rear seats, so S-FLOW mode cannot be automatically disabled.
To automatically disable S-FLOW
mode when opening and closing a rear door, switch to automatic S- FLOW mode. (P.513)
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 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.
When the windshield defogger switch is on, the indicator illumi- nates on the windshield defogger switch.
Press the rear window defogger and outside rear view mirror defoggers switch.
The defoggers will automatically turn off after 15 minutes.
When the rear window defogger and outside rear view mirror defog-
gers switch is on, the indicator illu- minates on the rear window defogger and outside rear view mir- ror defoggers switch.
The system determines that there is a passenger in any of the following situations.
If a passenger is judged to be in the vehicle, the system will retain the judgment for a certain amount of time after the engine switch is turned off.
After only the front passenger side door is opened and closed, when the vehicle is driven at 12 mph (20 km/h) or more, the system deter- mines that there is no passenger in the front passenger seat.
When a rear door is opened and closed
When the system is operating in S- FLOW mode, if a rear door is opened and then closed, S-FLOW mode will be disabled. To enable S- FLOW mode, select the S-FLOW mode switch. In this case, the sys- tem switches to manual S-FLOW mode.
The S-FLOW mode switch indicator will go off.
Eco driving mode, the air condi- tioning eco mode will be turned on automatically. Even in this case, the air conditioning eco mode can be turned off by pressing the Eco air conditioning mode switch.
The dehumidification function may not operate even when “A/C” is pressed.
When the engine is stopped due to Stop & Start system operations, the automatic air conditioning cooling, heating and dehumidification func- tions turn off and the fan speed is decreased according to the outside
temperature etc. or air blowing stops. To stop the air conditioning system from turning off, press the Stop & Start cancel switch and refrain from using the Stop & Start system.
