OPERATING TIPS
When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate for a
maximum of 150 seconds. However, this is
not a malfunction. After the coolant tempera-
ture warms up, air flow from the foot outlets
will operate normally.
Keep the moonroof (if so equipped) closed
while the air conditioner is in operation.
If you feel that the air flow mode you have
selected and the outlets the air is coming out
do not match, select the
mode.
When you change the air flow mode, you
may feel air flow from the feet vents for just a
moment. This is not a malfunction.
