The air conditioning can only be used while the engine is run-
ning.
While the front air conditioning is on, rear air conditioning is
also possible.NOTE●Cooling is not possible when the front air conditioning
(cooling and dehumidifying functions) is not operating.
Be sure to activate the front air conditioning (cooling and
dehumidifying functions) before activating the rear air
conditioning.
When the front air conditioning is not operating, only fan
operation without cooling is possible.

Important operation tips for the air
conditioning
E00708300658
●Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the vehicle inside
extremely hot, and it will require more time to cool the
interior.
If it is necessary to park in the sun, open the windows for
the first few minutes of air conditioning operation to expel
the hot air.
●Close the windows when the air conditioning is in use.
The entry of outside air through open windows will
reduce the cooling efficiency.
●Too much cooling is not good for the health. The inside
air temperature should only be 5 to 6 °C below the outside
air temperature.
●When operating the system, make sure the air intake,
which is located in front of the windscreen, is free of
obstructions such as leaves and snow. Leaves collected in
the air-intake plenum may reduce air flow and plug the
plenum water drains.

Air conditioning system refrigerant and lubri-
cant recommendationsIf the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause
might be a refrigerant leak. We recommend you to have the
system inspected.
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged
with the refrigerant HFC-134a and the lubricant SUN-PAG56.
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe dam-
age which will result in the need to replace your vehicle’s
entire air conditioning system. The release of refrigerant into
the atmosphere should be prevented.
It is recommended that the refrigerant be recovered and recy-
cled for further use.During a long period of disuseThe air conditioning should be operated for at least five min-
utes each week, even in cold weather. This is to prevent poor
lubrication of the compressor internal parts and to maintain the
air conditioning in the best operating condition.
Air purifier (with deodorizing function)
E00708400301
An air filter is incorporated into the air conditioning system to
remove pollen, dust, tobacco smells, and exhaust smells from
the air.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dirt is reduced as it
becomes dirty, so replace it periodically. For the maintenance
interval, refer to the “SERVICE BOOKLET”.NOTE●Operation in certain conditions such as driving on a dusty
road and frequent use of the air conditioning can lead to
reduction of service life of the filter. When the air flow
rate suddenly drops or when the windscreen or windows
start to fog up easily, the air filter requires replacement.
We recommend you to have it checked.
