(Face position)
Air flows exclusively to the upper
part of the passenger compartment.
(Bi-level position)
Air flows to the leg part and the
upper part of the passenger com-
partment.
(Foot position)
Air flows exclusively to the leg
areas.
(Foot/demister position)
Air flows exclusively to the leg
areas, windscreen and door win-
dows.
(Demister position)
Air flows exclusively to the wind-
screen and door windows.
Press the button (2), and all func-
tions will be locked to the positions
appropriate for demisting.
Press the button again, and the
setting will be returned to the
conditions which existed before
accomplishment of setting for
demisting.
NOTE
Press the button, and the air condition-
ing will be automatically changed to
(constant air conditioning operation).
Changing of air selectionEH14E-K
Each time the button is pressed, the
modes for inside air recirculation and out-
side air introduction alternate, and the in-
dicators light alternately.
1 - Normally set the button in this position
to allow outside air to enter the pas-
senger compartment. Use this posi-
tion, to minimize window misting or
while smoking.
2 - Air is recirculated inside the passen-
ger compartment.
Set the button in this position to keep
the inside air free of dust or other con-
taminants from the outside air.

NOTE
(1) When the temperature is set to the
highest or the lowest setting under the
AUTO operation, the air selection and
the air conditioning will be automati-
cally changed as follows:
• Quick Heating (When the tempera-
ture is set to the highest setting)
Outside air will be introduced and
the air conditioning will stop.
• Quick Cooling (When the tempera-
ture is set to lowest setting)
Inside air will be recirculated and
the air conditioning will operate.
If the air selection is operated manu-
ally after an automatic changeover,
manual operation will be selected.
(2) Normally, use outside the position to
keep the windscreen and side win-
dows clear and quickly remove fog or
frost from the windscreen.
If high cooling performance is de-
sired, or if the outside air is dusty or
otherwise contaminated, use the re-
circulation position. But in this case,
switch to the outside position periodi-
cally to ventilate so that the window
does not become fogged up.
CAUTIONUse of the recirculation position for
extended time causes the windows
to fog up.
Selection of the dehumidifying/cooling
modes
Press the button (2) according to the
need.
Every time the button is pressed, the
mode changes from ECO to to stop,
and simultaneously with this, the indicator
(B) changes as well.
ECO - Use this mode when humidity is
low.
The air conditioning compressor
is operated as required to make
energy-saving operation.
ECO- Effectively used for dehumidifi-
cation.
The air conditioning compressor
is operated to perform air cooling
and dehumidifying.Change of the blower speedEH13F-Cb
Press the air flow rate selection button (1)
to have the desirable air flow rate.
The air flow rate is indicated by the air flow
rate indicator (A).
▲- Air flow rate increased
▼- Air flow rate reduced
NOTE
Even if the air flow rate selection button is
in the OFF position, air flow may be pro-
vided corresponding to the vehicle speed
when the air selection button is in the out-
side air introduction mode.

MAINTENANCE
During cold weather
If the temperatures in your area drop
below freezing, there is the danger that
the coolant in the engine or radiator could
freeze and cause severe damage to the
engine and/or radiator. Add a sufficient
amount of anti-freeze to the coolant to
prevent it from freezing.
The engine coolant mixture used at the
factory provides protection against freez-
ing for temperatures as low as approxim-
ately –30°C. The concentration should be
checked before the start of cold weather
and anti-freeze added to the system if
necessary.BatteryEM37APD
The condition of the battery is very impor-
tant for quick starting of the engine and
proper functioning of the vehicle’s elec-
trical system. Regular inspection and care
are especially important in cold weather.
NOTE
(1) After replacing the battery, the elec-
tronic control system data for the en-
gine, automatic transmission, etc., will
be erased.
As a result, the engine speed may be-
come unstable and shift shocks may
occur.
If the engine speed becomes unsta-
ble, initial engine adjustments will
need to be performed.
Refer to the section “What to do if the
engine speed becomes unstable after
the battery is replaced” on page 8-30.
Shift shocks will become smoother af-
ter several changes in speed.
(2) Memory data for settings made by the
user may be erased when the battery
is replaced. If this happens, establish
the settings again using the relevant
procedures.
Checking battery electrolyte level
Type 1
The electrolyte level must be between the
specified limit marks stamped on the out-
side of the battery. Replenish with distilled
water as necessary.
The inside of the battery is divided into
several compartments; remove the cap
from each compartment and fill to the up-
per mark. Do not over-replenish beyond
the upper mark because spillage during
driving could cause damage.
Check the electrolyte level at least once
every four weeks, depending on the oper-
ating conditions.
If the battery is not used, it will discharge
by itself with time. Check it once every four
weeks and charge with low current as
necessary.
