If your vehicle is equipped with rear air conditioning, the rear air conditioning will no
t operate unless the front air
conditioning compressor is operating. Always switch the front air conditioning compressor onbefore using the rear air condi

Important operation tips for the air
conditioning
E00708300746
●
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 theinterior. If it is necessary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minutes of air conditioning operation to expelthe hot air.
●
Close the windows when the air conditioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows willreduce 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 outsideair temperature.
●
When operating the system,
make sure the air intake,
which is located in front of the windscreen, is free ofobstructions such as leaves
as 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 ND-OIL8.
Use of any other refrigerant or
lubricant will cause severe dam-
age which will result in the n
eed to replace your vehicle’s
entire air conditioning system. The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere is not recommended.The new refrigerant HFC-134a in
your vehicle will not harm
the ozone layer. It is recommended that the refr
igerant 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 the compressor from seizing and to maintain the air conditioningin the best operating condition.
Air purifier (with deodorizing function)
E00708400183
An air filter is incorporated in
to the air conditioning system to
remove pollen, dust, tobacco
smells and exhaust smells.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dirt is reduced as itbecomes dirty, so replace it pe
riodically. For the maintenance
interval, refer to th
e “SERVICE BOOKLET”.
NOTE●
Operation in certain conditions such as driving on a dusty road and frequent use of th
e air conditioning can lead to
reduction of service life of
the filter. When the air flow
rate suddenly drops or when the windscreen or windowsstart to fog up easily, the ai
r filter requires replacement.
We recommend you to have it checked.
