Title: just bought 2nd latio
Post by: bs on August 07, 2010, 04:43:42 PM: Hi all,

I had bought a 2nd hand latio. No much problwm with this ride. But then discover that sometimes outside fume or smell will enter the car cabin. Is this a defect or it is normal?

check on the two rectangle buttons above the temp reading. 1 is drawing air from outside and another 1 is "re cycle air within cabin"

I think the ion will always be on right? From manual it will alternate between cleaning and ion every 15 mins. No information whether previous owner smokes or not.

I think either some of you guys, your car got problem or is mine got problem. When mine set to internal circulation, no fumes will enter, even when I'm behind a bus or truck spewing out exhaust gas.

AUTO / Manual is more for fan and temp setting. I normally use Manual mode for more control.

When you on aircon, it start with Clean after awhile it will stich to "ION" mode. Means the plasma ion function is on. I just wonder is there a way to clean or service this plasma ion module?
