AIR FILTER (FOR EVAPORATOR AND
BLOWER UNIT) (If installed)
The air filter is located in the evaporator behind
the glove box.
It operates to prevent pollutants from entering
the car and to purify the air.
CAUTION:o Replace the filter every 12,000 miles
(20,000 km) or once a year.
If the car is being driven in severe condi-
tions such as dusty, rough roads, more
frequent air filter inspections and
changes are required.
o When the air flow rate is suddenly de-
creased, it must be checked at an autho-
rized dealer.
o If your vehicle is not equipped with this
filter, it can be installed by your dealers.
Check with your dealer for details.

B740D01Y-AATOperation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when you first
get in, open the windows for a few minutes
to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning
system, keep all windows closed to keep hot
air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift
to a lower gear. This increases engine speed,
which in turn increases the speed of the air
conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning off
to avoid the possibility of the engine over-
heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the
air conditioning is not used regularly, run the
air conditioning once every month for a few
minutes. This will help circulate the lubri-
cants and keep your system in peak oper-
ating condition.
