!●Normally, use the outside position to keep the wind-
screen and side windows clear and quickly remove
fog or frost from the windscreen.
If high cooling performance is desired, or if the out-
side air is dusty or otherwise contaminated, use the
recirculation position. Switch to the outside position
periodically to increase ventilation so that the win-
dows do not become fogged up.●Use of the recirculation position for extended time
may cause the windows to fog up.
CAUTION
!●When using the air conditioning, the idling speed
may slightly increase as the air conditioning com-
pressor is switched on/off automatically. While the
vehicle with an A/T is stationary, fully depress the
brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from creeping.

air conditioning operation indication lamp (A) blinks.
Press the air conditioning switch once to turn it off, then

tion indication lamp (A) does not blink for a while, there
is nothing wrong. If it starts to blink again, we recommend
