# (Normal Air Conditioning):
Press to turn the air conditioning
system on or off. An indicator
light comes on to show that the air
conditioning is on. Normal Air
Conditioning (A/C) can be selected
in any mode as long as the fan
is on and the outside air temperature
is above freezing. Normal A/C
cannot be selected at the same time
as Hybrid Air Conditioning (A/C).
A flashing indicator light indicates
that the air conditioning compressor
is currently not available.
When Normal A/C is selected, the
climate control system prevents
all automatic engine start/stop
operations. This will ensure the
cabin comfort is maintained.
See “Air Conditioning and Automatic
Engine Start/Stop” later in this
section.
N (Hybrid Air Conditioning):
Press to turn the Hybrid A/C system
on or off. An indicator light comes
on to show that Hybrid A/C is
on. Hybrid A/C can be selected in
any mode, except defrost as long as
the fan is on and the outside air
temperature is above freezing.
Hybrid A/C cannot be selected at
the same time as the normal
air conditioning. A flashing indicator
light shows the air conditioning
compressor is not available.
The Hybrid A/C works to balance
fuel economy and air conditioning
comfort. When Hybrid A/C is used in
warm weather, the vehicle gets
better fuel economy by allowing
more frequent start/stops. For
additional cooling, select Normal
A/C. See “Air Conditioning and
Automatic Engine Start/Stop” later in
this section.
@ (Recirculation): Press to
toggle between the recirculation and
outside air modes. The indicator
light turns on when the recirculation
mode is selected. This mode can
be used to prevent outside air
and odors from entering the vehicle
or to help cool the air inside the
vehicle more quickly. Avoid using
the recirculation mode during high
periods of humidity and cool outside
temperatures since this may
result in increased window fogging.
If window fogging is experienced,
select the defrost mode.
Recirculation mode is not available
in floor, defog or defrost modes.
If the button is selected in
these modes, the indicator will flash.
This helps prevent window fogging
and moisture building up inside
the vehicle.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a
warming grid to remove fog from the
rear window.
The rear window defogger will only
work when the ignition is in
ON/RUN.
< (Rear Window Defogger):
Press to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. An indicator light
on the button comes on to show
that it is activated.
