6-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
6
Interior features
Outside heat exchanger
● In the following situations the gas-
oline engine may operate in order
to extract heat from the engine
coolant via the heater even in EV
mode.
• The outside temperature is
approximately 14°F (-10°C) or low
• is operating
■ Water droplets during air condi-
tioning operation
The outside heat exchanger, accu-
mulator and air conditioning piping
may incur condensation or frost may
form.
During or after the air conditioning
operation, water droplets may fall
from the vehicle. However, it is not a
malfunction.

■ Fogging up of the windows
● The windows will easily fog up
when the humidity in the vehicle is
high. Turning “A/C” switch on will
dehumidify the air from the outlets
and defog the windshield effec-
tively.
● If you turn “A/C” switch off, the
windows may fog up more easily.
● The windows may fog up if the
recirculated air mode is used.
■ While using “My Room Mode”
● It may not be possible to obtain
the intended defogging perfor-
mance even if is pressed.
If the windows need to be
defogged before driving, stop
charging power and then press
.
● When the outside temperature is
low, heating may feel insufficient
due to restricted operation of the
air conditioning.
Heating cannot be performed
when it is 14°F (-10°C) or less as
the gasoline engine cannot be
started during “My Room Mode”. If
heating is desired, stop charging
and remove the AC charging
cable from the vehicle.
■ When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up
by the vehicle is still drawn into the
vehicle after closing the windows, it
is recommended that the air intake
mode be set to outside air mode
and the fan speed to any setting
except off.
■ Outside/recirculated air mode
● Setting to the recirculated air
mode temporarily is recom-
mended in preventing dirty air
from entering the vehicle interior
and helping to cool the vehicle
when the outside air temperature
is high.
● Outside/recirculated air mode may
automatically switch depending on
the temperature setting or the
inside temperature.
