DISPLAY SCREEN
Displays the operational status of the system.
AUTO SWITCH
The compressor, intake door, air mix doors, outlet doors and blower speed are automatically controlled so
that the in-vehicle temperature will reach, and be maintained at the set temperature selected by the oper-
ator.
TEMPERATURE DIAL (DRIVER)
Increases or decreases the driver zone temperature.
TEMPERATURE DIAL (PASSENGER)
Increases or decreases the passenger zone temperature.
RECIRCULATION SWITCH ()
When pressed an indicator turns ON in the display, and air inlet is set to recirculation mode.
Recirculation mode is cancelled by pressing the switch again, turning ON the front defroster, pressing the
OFF switch, or pressing the A/C switch to turn off the A/C system and compressor.
DEFROSTER () SWITCH
Positions the air outlet doors to the defrost position. Also positions the intake door to the outside air position.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
When switch is ON, rear window is defogged.
OFF SWITCH (HOLD FAN DOWN SWITCH UNTIL SYSTEM SHUTS OFF)
The compressor and blower are OFF, the intake door is set to the outside air position, and the air outlet doors
are set to the foot (75% foot and 25% defrost) position.
A/C SWITCH
The compressor is ON or OFF.
(Pressing the A/C switch when the AUTO switch is ON will turn off the A/C switch and compressor.)
MODE SWITCH
Controls the air discharge outlets.
FRONT FAN SWITCH
Manually controls the blower speed. Seven speeds are available for manual control (as shown on the display
screen).
REAR FAN SWITCH (FRONT)
Manually controls the rear blower speed. Four speeds are available for manual control. When the rear fan
switch (front) is in the off (0) position, the rear blower motor cannot operate. Position (R) allows control of rear
blower speed and rear temperature/mode operation to be transferred to rear air control.
REAR TEMPERATURE/MODE DIAL (FRONT)
Increases or decreases the rear zone temperature and adjusts the mode simultaneously. FLOOR is full hot
setting, FLOOR/PANEL is warm setting, and PANEL is full cold setting.

Example of Symptoms Judged Not MalfunctionEKS007NA
BASIC OPERATION
VEHICLE MARK
Symptom Cause Remedy
No image is shown. Display brightness adjustment is set fully to
DARK side.Adjust the display brightness.
No guide sound is heard.
Audio guide volume is too low or
too high.Volume control is set to OFF, MIN or MAX. Adjust the audio guide volume.
Audio guidance is not available while the vehicle
is driving on a dark pink route.System is not malfunctioning.
Screen is too dark.
Motion of the image is too slow.Temperature inside the vehicle is low. Wait until the temperature inside the vehicle
reaches the proper temperature.
Small black or bright spots appear
on the screen.Symptom peculiar to a liquid crystal display (dis-
play unit).System is not malfunction.
Symptom Cause Remedy
Map screen and BIRDVIEW™
Name of the place varies with the
screen.Some thinning of the character data is done to
prevent the display becoming to complex. In
some cases and in some locations, the display
contents may differ.
The same place name, street name, etc. may not
be displayed every time on account of the data
processing.System is not malfunctioning.
Vehicle mark is not positioned cor-
rectly.Vehicle is transferred by ferry or by towing after its
ignition switch is turned to OFF.Drive the vehicle for a while in the GPS sat-
ellite signal receiving condition.
Screen will not switch to nighttime
mode after the lighting switch is
turned ON.The daytime screen is selected by the “SWITCH
SCREENS” when the last time the screen dim-
ming setting is done.
Switching between daytime/nighttime screen may
be inhibited by the automatic illumination adjust-
ment function.Perform screen dimming and select the
nighttime screen by “SWITCH SCREENS”.
Map screen will not scroll in accor-
dance with the vehicle travel.Current location is not displayed. Press “MAP” button to display the current
location.
Vehicle mark will not be shown. Current location is not displayed. Press “MAP” button to display the current
location.
Accuracy indicator (GPS satellite
mark) on the map screen stays
gray.GPS satellite signal is intercepted because the
vehicle is in or behind a building.Move the vehicle out to an open space.
GPS satellite signal cannot be received because
an obstacle is placed on top of the instrument
panel.Do not place anything in the center on top of
the display.
GPS satellites are not visible from current loca-
tion.Wait until GPS satellites are visible by mov-
ing the vehicle.
Vehicle location accuracy is low. Accuracy indicator (GPS satellite mark) on the
map screen stays gray.Current location is not determined.
Vehicle speed setting by the vehicle speed pulse
has been deviated (advanced or retarded) from
the actual vehicle speed because tire chain is fit-
ted or the system has been used on another vehi-
cle.Drive the vehicle for a while [for approx. 30
minutes at approx. 30 km/h (19 MPH)] and
the deviation will be automatically adjusted.
If advancement or retard still occur, perform
the distance adjustment by CONFIRMA-
TION/ADJUSTMENT mode of diagnosis
function.
Map data has error or omission. (Vehicle mark is
always deviated to the same position.)As a rule, an updated map DVD–ROM will
be released once a year.
