Dehumidified defrosting or defogging:
1. Turn the air flow control dial to the
position.
2. Turn the fan speed control dial to the desired
position.
3. Turn the temperature control dial for the desired
temperature.
•To quickly remove ice from the outside of the
windscreen, turn the fan speed control dial to
the maximum position.
•As soon as possible after the windscreen has
been cleared of ice, turn the fan speed control
dial to the AUTO position for the automatic mode.
•When the air flow control dial is turned to theorposition, the outside air mode and
the air conditioner will automatically switch on
(except when the fan speed control dial is in the
OFF position) when the outside temperatures is
above −5°C (23°F) to defog the windscreen.
Outside air is drawn into the passenger com-
partment to improve the defogging performance.
Manual operation
Fan speed controlm:
Turn the fan speed control dial:
– to the OFF position to switch off the heater and
air conditioner system.
– to the AUTO position for automatic control of the
fan speed.
– to adjust the fan speed.Temperature control:
Turn temperature dial to set the desired air tempera-
ture.
Air flow control:
Turn the air flow control dial to one of following air
mode.
m
Air flows from centre and side vents.
m
Air flows from centre, side vents and
floor outlets.
mAir flows mainly from floor outlets.
m
Air flows from the defogger outlets and
floor outlets.
mAir flows mainly from defogger outlets.
Air recirculation
m:
Press the air intake button until the air recirculation
indicator light (
) comes on. When selected,
interior air will be recirculated inside the vehicle and
the air conditioner will switch on.
Use this mode to recirculate interior air inside the
passenger compartment in situations such as: driv-
ing on a dust raised road, avoiding traffic fumes or
having maximum cooling from the air conditioner.Outside air circulation
m:
Press the air intake button until outside air indicator
light (
) comes on. When selected, outside air
will be drawn into the vehicle.
Use this mode to draw outside air into the passen-
ger compartment for normal heating, ventilation or
air conditioner operation.
Operating tips
•In order to improve the heater operation, clear
the snow and ice from the wiper blade and air
inlet in front of the windscreen.
•When the engine coolant temperature and out-
side air temperature are low, the air flow from
the floor outlets may not operate for a maximum
of approximately 150 seconds. However, this is
not a malfunction. After the coolant temperature
has warmed up, the air flow from the floor outlets
will operate normally.
•After parking in the sun, drive for two or three
minutes with the windows open to vent hot air
from the passenger compartment. Then, close
the windows. This will allow the acceleration of
the air conditioner’s cooling operation.
•Keep the windows closed while the air condi-
tioner is operating.
•The air conditioning system should be operated
for approximately 10 minutes at least once a
month. This helps prevent damage to the system
due to lack of lubrication.
