Operation of the air conditioning system in eco drive mode
In eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled to prioritize fuel efficiency by regulating the engine speed and compressor operation to restrict the heating/cooling capacity.
To improve air conditioning performance, turn off eco drive mode.
Fogging up of the windows
The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high.
Turning on will dehumidify the
air from the outlets and defog the windshield
effectively.
Outside/recirculated air mode
