ging up when the outside air is cold, the

dehumidification function may operate or

the outside/recirculated air mode may not

switch to recirculated air mode.

Pollen is filtered even if pollen removal

mode is turned off.

nanoe™ X

This vehicle incorporates a biocidal prod-

uct.
Ionised air generated by a device incorpo-

rated in the vehicle purifies the air in the

cabin by suppressing bacteria.
Active substances: Free radicals generated

in situ from ambient air or water.
nanoe™ helps to provide purified air by

emitting electrically charged water parti-

cles through the side vent on the driver’s
side

When the fan is turned on and nanoe™

on the option control screen is selected,

the nanoe™ X is activated.

When the fan is operated in the following

conditions, system performance will be

maximized. If the following conditions are

not met, performance will be limited.

• The ,

air

outlets

are

being used.

• The side vent on the driver’s side is open.

When nanoe™ is generated, a small

amount of ozone is emitted and may be

faintly smelled in some situations. How-

ever, this is approximately the same as

the amount that already exists in nature,

such as in forests, and it has no affect on

the human body.

A slight noise may be heard during oper-

ation. This is not a malfunction.

: nanoe™ X is a nanoe™ generator.

nanoe™ and the nanoe™ mark are trade-
marks of Panasonic Corporation.

: According to temperature and humidity

conditions, fan speed and direction of
the air flow, the nanoe™ system may not
operate at full capacity.

needs repair.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the nanoe™ X

Do not insert anything into the side vent

on the driver’s side, attach anything to it,

or use sprays around it. These things may

cause the generator not to work prop-

erly.

This function automatically controls the
air conditioning airflow so that priority
is given to the front seats. When the
front passenger seat is not occupied,
airflow may switch to only the driver’s
seat. Unnecessary air conditioning is
suppressed, contributing to increased
electricity consumption efficiency.

Operation of automatic airflow control

In order to maintain a comfortable inte-

rior, airflow may be directed to seats

without passengers immediately after the

EV system is started and at other times

depending on the outside temperature.

After the EV system is started, if passen-

gers move around inside or enter/exit

the vehicle, the system cannot accurately

detect the presence of passengers and

automatic airflow control will not oper-

ate.

Operation of manual airflow control

Even if the function is manually switched to

directing airflow to only the front seats,

when a rear seat is occupied, it may auto-

matically direct airflow to all seats.

To return to automatic airflow control

With the indicator off, turn the power

switch off.

After 60 minutes or more elapse, turn

the power switch to ON.

WARNING

To prevent the windshield defogger

from operating improperly

Do not place anything on the instrument

panel which may cover the air outlets.

Otherwise, air flow may be obstructed,

preventing the windshield defoggers

from defogging.

ging may be insufficient due to the power

being restricted more than during normal

air conditioning operation. Also, the outside

of the windshield may fog up due to the out-

side temperature, humidity or air condition-

ing set temperature.

Remote Air Conditioning
System

The Remote Air Conditioning Sys-
tem uses electrical energy stored in
the traction battery and allows the
air conditioning to be operated by
remote control.

Wax the vehicle when the water-
proof coating deteriorates.

If water does not bead on a clean surface,
apply wax when the vehicle body is cool.

Self-restoring coat

The vehicle body has a self-restoring coat-

ing that is resistant to small surface

scratches caused in a car wash, etc.

The coating lasts for 5 to 8 years from

when the vehicle is delivered from the

plant.

The restoration time differs depending on

the depth of the scratch and outside tem-

perature. The restoration time may

become shorter when the coating is

warmed by applying warm water.

Deep scratches caused by keys, coins,

etc., cannot be restored.

Do not use wax that contain abrasives.

Automatic car washes

Before washing the vehicle:

• Fold the mirrors

• Turn off the power back door (if
