Manual heater/air conditioner (Honda HR-V 1)

Blowing direction switching handle

Quick warming up of the interior

Preventing fogging of windows and warming up the interior

Removal ice or fog from windshield or side windows

In high humidity conditions, such as during rain

Rapid cooling of the air inside the cabin

Note: After the interior has cooled down quickly, switch to outside air intake. If the air circulates inside the interior for a long time, the humidity will increase.

When the air conditioner is not used for a long time

During periods when the air conditioner is not used for a long time, it is necessary to periodically turn it on for a few minutes to lubricate the compressor.

Note:

• If air is taken from the passenger compartment for a long time, the windows will fog up and visibility may be impaired. After warming up the passenger compartment, it is necessary to switch to external air intake.
• When the heater is turned on, moisture is removed and the interior is warmed up.
• This mode is used in spring or autumn in rainy weather, when the windows fog up. Moisture is removed from the incoming air, dry air is heated, which prevents the windows from fogging up.

Note:

• If you supply air from the passenger compartment for a long time, the windows will fog up due to the moist air exhaled by people in the passenger compartment. After drying the windows once, switch to taking in outside air.
• When turning on the air conditioner button, do not set the temperature control knob near the extreme left position (maximum cold). Cold air gets on the inner surface of the glass, which can cause its outer surface to fog up and the view will be impaired.

Note: When the temperature in the car is low, the air conditioner sometimes does not turn on. In this case, warm up the car by drawing air from the car, and then turn on the air conditioner.
