DISPLAY SCREEN
Displays the operational status of the system.
AUTO SWITCH
lThe 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.
lWhen pressing AUTO switch, air inlet, air outlet, blower speed, and discharge air temperature are auto-
matically controlled.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL (TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (DRIVER SIDE)
Increases or decreases the set temperature.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL (TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (PASSENGER SIDE)
Increases or decreases the set temperature.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL (TEMPERATURE AND MODE CONTROL) (REAR)
Increases or decreases the set temperature. The mode also changes from foot at full hot setting, to foot/vent
mid-range (warm) setting, and then to vent on full cold setting.
RECIRCULATION (REC) SWITCH
lWhen REC switch is ON, REC switch indicator turns ON, and air inlet is set to REC.
lWhen REC switch is turned OFF, or when compressor is turned from ON to OFF, REC switch is automati-
cally turned OFF. REC mode can be re-entered by pressing REC switch again.
lREC switch is not operated when DEF switch is turned ON, or at the D/F position.
DEFROSTER (DEF) SWITCH
Positions the air outlet doors to the defrost position. Also positions the intake doors to the outside air position.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
When switch is ON, rear window is defogged.
OFF SWITCH
The compressor and blower are OFF, the intake doors are 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.)

REFRIGERANT LINES
CAUTION:
Replace the O-rings on the A/C low-pressure flexible A/C hose and the high-pressure A/C pipe with
new ones. Apply compressor oil to the O-rings for installation.
Removal and Installation for Expansion ValveEJS006CZ
REMOVAL
1. Discharge the refrigerant. Refer toATC-138, "HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Procedure".
2. Remove the heater and cooling unit assembly. Refer toATC-126, "
REMOVAL".
3. Remove the heater core and evaporator pipes grommet.
4. Remove the expansion valve.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
lReplace the O-rings on then expansion valve and the A/C refrigerant pipes with new ones, then
apply compressor oil to them for installation.
lAfter charging refrigerant, check for leaks.
Checking for Refrigerant LeaksEJS006D1
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C lubricant
leakage, damage and corrosion. A/C lubricant leakage may indicate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allow
extra inspection time in these areas when using either an electronic refrigerant leak detector or fluorescent
dye leak detector.
If dye is observed, confirm the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector. It is possible a prior leak was
repaired and not properly cleaned.
When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at all
system components and connections.
When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electronic leak detector, move the probe along the suspected
leak area at 1 to 2 inches per second and no further than 1/4 inch from the component.
CAUTION:
Moving the electronic leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leak area will improve
the chances of finding a leak.
Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluorescent Leak DetectorEJS006D2
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety goggles [SST: J-42220] in a low sunlight area
(area without windows preferable). Illuminate all components, fittings and lines. The dye will appear as a
bright green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evaporator drain open-
ing indicates an evaporator core assembly (tubes, core or expansion valve) leak.
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using dye cleaner [SST: J-43872] to prevent future mis-
diagnosis.
4. Perform a system performance check and verify the leak repair with an approved electronic refrigerant
leak detector.
NOTE:
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield
washer fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure the surfaces to be
checked are clean.
Cleanwithadryclothorblowoffwithshopair.
Do not allow the sensor tip of the detector to contact with any substance. This can also cause false readings
and may damage the detector.Expansion valve bolts : 4 N·m (0.41 kg-m, 35 in-lb)

VOICE GUIDANCE
VOICE RECOGNITION
An indirect route is suggested.If there are restrictions (such as one way streets)
on roads close to the starting point or destination,
the system may suggest an indirect route.Adjust the location of the starting point or
destination.
The system may suggest an indirect route because
route calculation does not take into consideration
some areas such as narrow streets (gray roads).Reset the destination to a main or ordinary
road, and recalculate the route.
The landmark information does not
correspond to the actual informa-
tion.This may caused by insufficient or incorrect data on
the DVD-ROM.This is not a malfunction.
The suggested route does not
exactly connect to the starting
point, waypoints, or destination.There is no data for route calculation closer to
these locations.Set the starting point, waypoints and desti-
nation on main road, and perform route cal-
culation. Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
The voice guidance is not avail-
able.Voice guidance is only available at certain intersec-
tions. In some cases, voice guidance is not avail-
able even when the vehicle should make a turn.This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle has deviated from the suggested
route.Go back to the suggested route or request
route calculation again.
Voice guidance is set to off. Turn on the voice guidance.
Route guidance is set to off. Turn on the voice guidance.
The guidance content does not
correspond to the actual condition.The content of the voice guidance may vary,
depending on the types of intersections at which
turns are made.Follow all traffic rules and regulations.
Symptom Possible cause Possible solution
The system does not recognize
the command.
The system recognizes the com-
mand incorrectly.The interior of the vehicle is too noisy.Close the windows or have other occu-
pants be quiet.
The volume of the voice is too low. Speak louder.
Pronounceation is unclear. Speak clearly.
Voice recognition mode is not yet ready to speak.Push the release “PPT” on the steering
switch, and speak a command after the
tone sounds.
5 seconds or more have passed after pushed and
released “PTT” on the steering switch.Make sure to speak a command within 5
seconds after push and release “PTT” on
the steering switch.
Only a limited range of voice commands is usable
for each screen.Use a correct voice command appropriate
for the current screen.
