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.

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:
Close all windows. If dust thrown up
temporarily is recommended in pre- venting dirty air from entering the vehicle interior and helping to cool the vehicle when the outside air temperature is high.
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.
