Operation of the CVT
N00514500333
CAUTION
!
Before selecting a position with the engine running
and the vehicle stationary, fully depress the brake
pedal to prevent the vehicle from creeping.
Do not release the brakes until you are ready to
drive away. The vehicle will begin to move as soon as
the CVT is engaged, especially when the engine
speed is high (fast idle or air conditioning on).
Depress the brake pedal with the right foot.
Using the left foot could cause driver movement
delay in case of an emergency.
To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the
engine at high rpms when shifting from the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot
is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking effi-
ciency and may cause premature wear of brake
pads.
Use the selector lever in the correct shift position in
accordance with driving conditions.
Never coast downhill backward in the driving shift
position { “D” (DRIVE), “L” (LOW) or sports
mode} or coast forward in the “R” (REVERSE)
position.
Engine stopping and increased brake pedal and
steering effort could lead to an accident.

Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed
when the vehicle is stationary.
This can damage the CVT.
Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while
holding down the brake pedal with the selector lever
in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions
may not rise as high as when performing the same
operation with the selector lever in the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position.

Side ventsMove the knob to make adjustments.
To close the vent, move the knob to the outside as far as possi-
ble.NOTE
On rare occasions, air from the vents of an air-conditioned
vehicle may be foggy. This is only moist air cooling sud-
denly and does not indicate a problem.

Do not let drinks or other liquids get into the vents as they
could prevent the air conditioning from operating nor-
mally.
Changing the mode selection

vents, turn the mode selection dial. Refer to “Mode selection
dial” on page 5-7, 5-17, 5-27, 5-37.

Air selection switch
N00736800367
Normally, use the outside air position to keep the windshield
and side windows clear and to quickly remove fog or frost
from the windshield.
To change the air selection, simply press the air selection
switch. A sound will be made every time you push the switch.

Outside air {Indicator light (A) OFF}

Recirculated air {Indicator light (A) ON}
When the air conditioning turns on, the air selection is con-
trolled automatically.
When the air conditioning turns off, the air selection automati-
cally goes back to the outside air position.
The air selection indicator light (A) shows the selected posi-
tion.
NOTE
When the air conditioning operates with the air selection
switch (A) in the outside air position, the system automat-
ically determines whether to continue using outside air or
to perform recirculation.
If the outside temperature is high, the system selects recir-
culation to achieve rapid cooling and causes the air selec-
tion indicator in the switch to illuminate. When the air
conditioning turns off or the blower speed selection dial is
set to the “OFF” position, the air selection automatically
goes back to the outside position.
If the outside air is dusty or contaminated in some way, use the
recirculation position. Switch to the outside air position every
now and then to keep the windows from fogging up.
CAUTION
!
Using recirculated air for a long time may cause the
windows to fog up.

NOTE
While the mode selection dial is set between “ ” and
“ ” position, the air conditioning compressor will run
automatically. The outside air position will also be
selected automatically. (In this case, the air conditioning
indicator will not change.)

When the temperature control dial is set to the “MAX
A/C” position, the air selection will be automatically set
to the recirculation position.

When the temperature control dial is in the “MAX A/C”
position, if it is set to a position other than “MAX A/C”,
the setting for the air selection switch is selected as
described below. The selection of recirculated air or out-
side air depends on the setting before “MAX A/C” was
used.
• If automatic control was set:
Automatic control is continued
• If recirculated air was selected:
Recirculated air is continued
• If outside air was selected:
Outside air is continued

While the mode selection dial is set between “ ” and
“ ” position, the air selection will automatically change
to the outside air position, even if the system is set to
“Disable automatic air control”, in order to prevent win-
dows from fogging up.
