While in this mode, the hybrid system does not shut the
engine down at complete stops.
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for
the vehicle to cool down. Then keep the windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
On cool, but sunny days while using manual operation
of the automatic system, use bi-level to deliver warm
air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument panel
outlets. To warm or cool the air delivered, press
x or w
to the desired temperature setting.
In AUTO mode the system cools and dehumidifies the
air inside the vehicle. Also while in AUTO mode,
the system maximizes its performance by using
recirculation as necessary.
N (Hybrid Air Conditioning): This setting balances
fuel economy and air conditioning comfort. When
hybrid A/C is used in warm weather, you may notice
more frequent auto stops and the cabin may be warmer
as compared to normal air conditioning.
Maximum Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the
system to operate more efficiently.
For quick cool down on hot days, do the following:
1. Select the
C vent mode.
2. Select the highest fan speed.
3. Select
# air conditioning.
4. Select the
h recirculation mode.
5. Select the coolest temperature.
Using these settings together for long periods of time
may cause the air inside of the vehicle to become too
dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air in
the vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
Heating: On cold days when using manual operation
of the automatic system, use floor mode to deliver air to
the floor outlets. To warm or cool the air delivered,
press x or w to the desired temperature setting.
To use the automatic mode, turn the knob to AUTO and
adjust the temperature by pressing x or w.
