CAUTION
l
Normally, use the outside position to keep
the windscreen and
side windows clear
and quickly remove fog or frost from the
windscreen.
If high cooling performance is desired, or
if the outside air is dusty or otherwise con-
taminated use the recirculation position.
Switch to the outside position periodically
to increase ventilation so that the win-
dows do not become fogged up.
l Use of the recirculation position for exten-
ded time may cause the windows to fog up.
NOTE l If
you press

the AUTO switch to select auto-
matic control after manually switching be-
tween outside air and recirculated air, the air
selection will also be automatically controlled. AUTO switch

NOTE l If
a problem

is detected in the air condition-
ing compressor, the air conditioning opera-
tion indication lamp (A) blinks. Stop the ve-
hicle in a safe place, turn off the engine, then
restart the engine. If the air conditioning op-
eration indication lamp does not blink, there
is no problem. If it does blink, we recom-
mend you to have it checked.

pressure car wash, the condenser can get wet,
and the operation indication lamp (A) blinks
temporarily. In this case there is nothing
wrong. Stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn
off the engine, then restart the engine. Once
the water evaporates, the blinking will stop. For pleasant driving
