To minimize the possibility of catalyst
or other vehicle damage:
Maintain the engine in the proper
operating condition.
In the event of an engine malfunc-
tion, particularly one involving
engine misfire or other apparent
loss of performance, have the vehi-
cle serviced promptly.
Do not turn off the engine or inter-
rupt the ignition when the transmis-
sion is in gear and the vehicle is in
motion.
Do not try to start the engine by
pushing or towing the vehicle, or
coasting down a hill.
Do not idle the engine with any
spark plug wires disconnected or
removed, such as during diagnostic
testing.
Do not idle the vehicle for pro-
longed periods if idling seems rough
or there are other malfunctions.
Do not allow the fuel tank to get
near the empty level.Be careful where you park and drive;
the catalytic converter and other
exhaust components can get very hot.
As with any vehicle, do not park or
operate this vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry
grass or leaves can come in contact
with a hot exhaust system.

engine, do not allow the engine to idle or
apply full throttle until the engine has
reached operating temperature. Allow the
engine to warm up by driving.
Avoid “fast” starts
Fast starts away from lights or stop signs
will consume fuel unnecessarily and shorten
engine life. Start off slowly.
Avoid unnecessary stops
Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stop-
ping. Try to maintain a slow, steady speed
whenever possible. Slowing down and then
accelerating again uses more fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed
Keep as constant a speed as road and traf-
fic conditions will permit.
DRIVING TIPS
6-2
CAUTION
Improving Fuel EconomyThe following instructions will help you
improve fuel economy.
Avoid excessive idling
If you are to wait for more than a minute
while you are parked, stop the engine and
start it again later. When warming up a coldKeep the air cleaner clean
(Petrol engine)
EXAMPLE
83K-04-004
A dirty air cleaner will cause the fuel sys-
tem to supply too much fuel to the engine
for the amount of air being supplied. The
result is waste of fuel due to incomplete
combustion.

This selector is used to select the following
modes.
Fresh Air (f)
When this mode is selected, the indicator
light will go off and outside air is used.
Recirculated Air (g)
When this mode is selected, the indicator
light will come on, outside air is shut off and
inside air is recirculated. This mode is
suitable when driving through dusty or pol-
luted air such as in a tunnel, or when
attempting to quickly cool down the interior.
“FRESH AIR” and “RECIRCULATED AIR”
are switched alternately each time the air
intake selector is pushed.NOTE:
If you select “RECIRCULATED AIR” for an
extended period of time, the air in the vehi-
cle can become contaminated. Therefore,
you should occasionally select “FRESH AIR”.Air conditioning switch (5)
To turn on the air conditioning system, push
in the “A/C” switch and set the blower speed
selector to a position other than “OFF”. With
this “A/C” switch operation, a indicator light
will come on when the airconditioning system
is on. To turn off the air conditioning system,
push the “A/C” switch again.
During operation of the air conditioner, you
may notice slight changes in engine speed.

These changes are normal, the system is
designed so that the compressor turns on
or off to maintain the desired temperature.
Less operation of the compressor results in
better fuel economy.System Operating InstructionsNatural ventilation
Select “VENTILATION” and “FRESH AIR”,
the temperature selector to the desired
temperature position, and the blower speed
selector to “OFF”. Fresh air will flow through
the vehicle during driving.
Forced ventilation
The control settings are the same as for
natural ventilation except you set the blower
speed selector to a position other than “OFF”.
Normal heating (using outside air)
Select “HEAT” and “FRESH AIR”, the tem-
perature selector to the desired temperature
position and the blower speed selector to
the desired blower speed position. Setting
the blower speed selector to a higher blower
speed position increases heating efficiency.
Quick heating (using recirculated air)
The control settings are the same as for
normal heating except you select “RECIR-
CULATED AIR”. If you use this heating
method for an extended period of time, the
air in the vehicle can become contaminatedand the windows can become misty.
Therefore, use this method only for quick
heating and change to the normal heating
method as soon as possible.
Cool face / Warm feet
Select “BI-LEVEL” and “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position, and the blower speed
selector to the desired blower speed posi-
tion. Unless the temperature selector is in
the fully COLD position or fully HOT posi-
tion, the air that comes out of the center
and side outlets will be cooler than the air
that comes out of the floor outlets.
Normal cooling
Turn on the “A/C” switch, set the air flow
selector to “VENTILATION”, the temperature
selector to the desired temperature position
and the blower speed selector to the
desired blower speed position. Setting the
blower speed selector to a higher blower
speed position increases cooling efficiency.
You can switch the air intake selector to
either “FRESH AIR” or “RECIRCULATED
AIR” as you desire. Choosing “RECIRCU-
LATED AIR” increases cooling efficiency.
Quick cooling (using recirculated air)
The control settings are the same as for
normal cooling except you select “RECIR-
CULATED AIR” and the highest blower speed.
NOTE:
If your vehicle has been left in the sun
with the windows closed, it will cool
faster if you open the windows briefly
while you operate the air conditioner with
the air intake selector at “FRESH AIR”
and the blower at high speed.Dehumidifying
Turn on the “A/C” switch, set the air flow
selector to the desired air flow selector
position, and select “FRESH AIR”, the tem-
perature selector to the desired temperature
position, and the blower speed selector to
the desired blower speed position.
83K-05-011
NOTE:
Because the air conditioner dehumidifies the
air, turning it on will help keep the windows
clear, even when blowing heated air using the
“DEMIST” or “HEAT & DEMIST” functions.EXAMPLE

OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
7-4Using the wrong refrigerant may
damage your air conditioning system.
Use R-134a only. Do not mix or replace
the R-134a with other refrigerants.
CAUTION
NOTE:
If you need maximum demisting:
set the air flow selector to “DEMIST”,
set the blower speed selector to HIGH,
adjust the temperature selector to the
HOT end,
turn on the “A/C” switch, and
adjust the side outlets so the air blows
on the side windows.MaintenanceIf you do not use the air conditioner for a
long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain opti-
mum performance and durability of your air
conditioner, it needs to be run periodically.
Operate the air conditioner at least once a
month for one minute with the engine idling.
This circulates the refrigerant and oil and
helps protect the internal components.NOTE:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning
refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly called “R-
134a”. Only R-134a should be used in your
vehicle.
Audio System (if equipped)Refer supplementary manual for audio
system (if equipped), provided along with
the vehicle.Radio Antenna
83K-05-013
To avoid damage to the radio antenna:
Remove the antenna when using an
automatic car wash.
Remove the antenna when the
antenna hits anything such as a low
ceiling in a parking garage or
putting a car cover over your car.
CAUTION
Remote Audio Controls
(if equipped)
83K-05-014
You can control basic functions of the audio
system with the switches on the steering
wheel.
To control the volume:
To increase the volume, push the switch
(1).
To decrease the volume, push the switch
(2).
To mute, push the switch (3).
To select the mode, push the switch (4).
You can also turn on the audio system by
pushing the switch (4). The radio antenna on the roof is removable.
To remove the antenna, turn it coun-
terclockwise. To reinstall the antenna, turn
it clockwise firmly by hand.
