BREAK-IN OPERATION
When replacing compressor clutch assembly, always carry out
the break-in operation. This is done by engaging and disengag-
ing the clutch about thirty times. Break-in operation raises the
level of transmitted torque.
Ventilation Air Filter
FUNCTION
Air inside passenger compartment is kept clean at either recir-
culation or fresh mode by installing ventilation air filter into cool-
ing unit.
REPLACEMENT TIMING
Replace ventilation air filter every 2 years or 30,000 km (15,000
miles).
Caution label is fixed inside the glove box.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES
lRemove instrument lower cover with glove box.
Refer to BT section.
lTake out ventilation air filter which is secured with one clip,
from cooling unit.
lReplace with new one and reinstall instrument lower cover
and glove box.
