Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated and restrained prop-
erly (sitting upright with the seat in an
upright position, centered on the seat cush-
ion, with the person’s legs comfortably
extended, feet on the floor, and wearing
the safety belt properly) for the most effec-
tive protection by the air bag and the safety
belt.o The OCS may not function properly if
the passenger takes actions which can
defeat the detection system. These in-
clude:
(1) Failing to sit in an upright position.
(2) Leaning against the door or center
console.
(3) Sitting towards the sides or the front
of the seat.
(4) Putting legs on the dashboard or
resting them on other locations which
reduce the passenger weight on the
front seat.
(5) Improperly wearing the safety belt.
(6) Reclining the seat back.Condition and operation in the front pas-

*1) The system judges a person of adult
size as an adult. When a smaller adult
sits in the front passenger seat, the
system may recognize him/her as a
child depending on his/her physique
and posture.
*2) Do not allow children to ride in the front
passenger seat. When a larger child
who has outgrown a child restraint
system sits in the front passenger seat,
the system may recognize him/her as
an adult depending on his/her phy-
sique or posture, or objects in the lap of
the child.
*3) Never install a child restraint system on
the front passenger seat.

With the "Fresh" mode selected, air enters
the vehicle from the outside and is heated
or cooled according to the function se-
lected.
With the "Recirculation" mode selected,
air from within the passenger compart-
ment will be drawn through the heating
system and heated or cooled according to
the function selected.NOTE:It should be noted that prolonged opera-
tion of the heating in "Recirculation"
mode (
) may result in fogging of the
windshield and side windows and the air
within the passenger compartment will
become stale. In addition, prolonged use
of the air conditioning with the "Recircu-
lation" mode (
) selected may result
in the air within the passenger compart-
ment becoming excessively dry.

B730A01CM-AATOperation Tipso To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from
entering the car through the ventilation
system, temporarily set the air intake
control to (
).
Be sure to return the control to (
)
when the irritation has passed to keep
fresh air in the vehicle. This will help
keep the driver alert and comfortable.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is
drawn in through the grilles just ahead
of the windshield. Care should be taken
that these are not blocked by leaves,
snow, ice or other obstructions.
o To prevent interior fog on the wind-
shield, set the air intake control to the
fresh air (
) position, fan speed to the
desired position, turn on the air condi-
tioning system, and adjust temperature
control to desired temperature.
OCM051040A B710A01A-AAT
To operate the ventilation system:
o Set the air intake control switch to the
fresh air (
) position.
o To direct all intake air to the dashboard
vents, set the airflow control to the face
(
) position.
o Adjust the fan speed control to the de-
sired speed.
o Set the temperature control between
"Cool" and "Warm".
VENTILATION
o If the interior of the car is hot when you
first get in, open the windows for a few
minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning
system, keep all windows closed to
keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic,
shift to a lower gear. This increases
engine speed, which in turn increases
the speed of the air conditioning com-
pressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condition-
ing off to avoid the possibility of the
engine over-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when
the air conditioning is not used regu-
larly, run the air conditioning once ev-
ery month for a few minutes. This will
help circulate the lubricants and keep
your system in peak operating condi-
tion.

!
CAUTION:
When replacing a fusible link, never use
anything but a new fusible link with the
same or lower amperage rating. Never
use a piece of wire or a higher-rated
fusible link. This could result in serious
damage and create a fire hazard.
G200B02HP-AATReplacing Accessory Fuses
OCM054002
The fuse box for the lights and other elec-
trical accessories will be found low on the
dashboard on the driver's side. Inside the
box you will find a list showing the circuits
protected by each fuse.
If any of your car's lights or other electrical
accessories stop working, a blown(open)
fuse could be the reason. If the fuse has
burned out, you will see that the metal strip
inside the fuse has melted through. If you
suspect a blown fuse, follow this proce-
dure:1. Turn off the ignition and all other
switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each
fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it
toward you (a small "fuse puller" tool is
contained in the relay and fuse box of
the engine room to simplify this opera-
tion).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if
you find one that appears to have burned
out.
