— Manual control
SETTING OPERATION
When one of the manual control switches
is depressed while operating in automatic
mode, the operation corresponding to the
depressed switch is set. Other conditions
continue to be adjusted automatically.
(a) Air flow selection
The outlets from which air is delivered can
be selected manually by touching the
switch.
The function of each mode is as follows:
1Panel — Air flows mainly from the instru-
ment panel vents.
2Bilevel — Air flows from both the floor
vents, instrument panel vents.
When you set the temperature selector
setting at about the middle in automatic
operation, warm air flows out of the floor
vents and relatively low − temperature
air flows out of the instrument panel
vents.
3Floor — Air flows mainly from the floor
vents.
4Floor/windshield — Air flows mainly
from the floor vents, windshield vents.
Take in the fresh air with selecting the
FRESH mode by the air intake control
button.
The selected mode is highlighted in green.
(b) Fan speed control
1Fan speed at low
2Fan speed at high
The fan speed can be set to your desired
speed by touching the appropriate air flow
control switch.
The higher the fan speed is, the more air is de-
livered.
Pushing the “OFF” button turns off the
fan.
To remove the exterior windshield frost and in-
terior windshield fog, use the high speed set-
ting.
The selected mode is highlighted in green.

(c) Air intake selector
1RECIRCULATED — Recirculates the
air inside the vehicle.
2FRESH — Draws outside air into the
system.
Each time you push the air intake control
button.
The mode changes in order from the RECIR-
CULATED mode to FRESH mode, then back
to the RECIRCULATED mode.
Each indicator light shows which mode is now
selected.
If quick circulation of cooled air is desired,
push the air intake selector button for RECIR-
CULATED mode.For normal use, it is best to keep the air intake
selector button set to the FRESH mode. If re-
circulated air is used during heating, the win-
dows will fog up more easily.
To prevent fogging up of the windshield, the
air intake mode may change automatically to
the FRESH mode depending on the condition
of the air conditioning system.
For example, when the ambient temperature
is low, the air intake mode may change auto-
matically to the FRESH mode. This is not a
malfunction.
When the air conditioning is ON, if the engine
coolant temperature becomes extremely
high, the RECIRCULATED mode is automati-
cally selected. This is not a malfunction.
When the engine coolant temperature is low-
ered, the previous mode resumes.(d) Onoff of the air conditioning
Touch the “A/C” switch.
To turn the air conditioning on and touch it
again to turn the air conditioning off.
The air conditioning does not work if the out-
side temperature is lowered down to around
0
C (32
F).
If the system is used for ventilation, heating in
dry weather or removing frost or exterior fog
on the windshield, turn the air conditioning off
once it is no longer required. This will improve
fuel economy. The air conditioning can be
used for year−round automatic temperature
control including cooling and dehumidifying
operation.
If the air conditioning compressor does not
operate, the display light of the “A/C” switch
will blink. If the display light of the “A/C” switch
blinks even when the “A/C” switch is touched
again, have the compressor checked by your
nearest dealer.
If the engine coolant temperature becomes
extremely high, the air conditioning may shut
off automatically to resolve emergency situa-
tion for engine cooling. This is not a malfunc-
tion. When the engine coolant temperature is
lowered, the air conditioning comes on auto-
matically.

156
— Automatic control
SETTING OPERATION
The automatic air conditioning automati-
cally maintains the set temperature.
In the automatic operation mode, the air con-
ditioning selects the most suitable fan speed,
air flow, air intake and on−off the air condition-
ing according to the temperature.
(a) “AUTO” button
Push the “AUTO” button.
An indicator light will illuminate to show that
the automatic operation mode has been se-
lected.
You may use manual controls if you want to
select your own settings.
INFORMATION
This automatic control has additional
function as described below, when
the “AUTO” button is pushed.
The fan speed is stopped for a little
while until warm air preparation, when
outside temperature is cold like a win-
ter season in the “Floor” or “Bilevel”
air flow mode. If quick removal for ex-
terior frost, fog and inside fog on the
windshield is desired, use the high
fan speed setting after the “Wind-
shield” air flow mode has been se-
lected.
The fan speed is stopped few sec-
onds until cool air preparation, when
outside temperature is hot like a sum-
mer season in the “Panel” or “Bilev-
el” air flow mode.
The internal circulation may be ap-
plied for maximum cooling in the au-
tomatic operation mode, when out-
side temperature is hot like a summer
season.
If fresh outside air is desired into the
vehicle, push the air intake control
button to select the FRESH mode.
