When the temperature is set to the highest or the lowest
setting under the AUTO operation, the air selection and
the air conditioning will be automatically changed as fol-
lows.
Also, if the air selection is operated manually after an
automatic changeover, manual operation will be selected.

In normal conditions, use the system in the AUTO mode and
follow these procedures:
1. Set the blower speed selection dial to the “AUTO” posi-
tion.
2. Select the temperature control dial to the desired tempera-
ture. The temperature can be set within a range of around
18 to 32. The temperature will increase as the dial is
turned to the right.
3. Set the mode selection dial to the “AUTO” position.
The vents (except “ ”), recirculation/outside air, blower
speed, and ON/OFF of air conditioning will be controlled auto-
matically.
NOTE
Set the temperature at about 25 under normal conditions.

While the engine coolant temperature is low, the tempera-
ture of the air from the heater will be cool/cold until the
engine warms up, even if you have selected warm air with
the dial. To prevent the windshield and windows from
fogging up, the vent mode will be changed to “ ” or
“ ” and the blower speed will be reduced.

In the following circumstances, moisture can form on
discs and inside the audio system, preventing normal
operation.
• When there is high humidity (for example, when it is
raining).
• When the temperature suddenly rises, such as right after
the heater is turned on in cold weather.
In this case, wait until the moisture has had time to dry
out.

When the CD player is subjected to violent vibrations,
such as during off-road driving, the tracking may not
work.

When storing compact discs, always store them in their
separate cases. Never place compact discs in direct sun-
light, or in any place where the temperature or humidity is
high.

Never touch the flat surface of the disc where there isn’t a
label. This will damage the disc surface and could affect
the sound quality. When handling a compact disc, always
hold it by the outer edge and the center hole.
To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth. Wipe directly
from the center hole toward the outer edge. Do not wipe in
a circle. Never use any chemicals such as benzine, paint
thinner, a disc spray cleaner, or an anti-static agent on the
disc.

Do not use a ball point pen, felt pen, pencil, etc. to write
on the label surface of the disc.

3. You could be injured if the vehicles move. Set the parking
brake firmly on each vehicle. Put an automatic transaxle,
CVT or Twin Clutch SST in “P” (PARK) or a manual
transaxle in “N” (Neutral). Turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position. NOTE
Turn off all lights, heater, and other electrical loads. This
will avoid sparks and help save both batteries.
4. Make sure your battery electrolyte is at the proper level.
(Refer to “Checking battery electrolyte level” on page 7-
25.)5. For vehicles equipped with turbocharger, remove the air
duct and then the battery upper cover.
(Refer to “Removing and installing the battery upper
cover” on page 7-23.)
6. Connect one end of one jumper cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the discharged battery (A), and the other end
to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery (B).
NOTE
Open the terminal cover before connecting the jumper
cable to the positive terminal of the battery.
(Refer to “Disconnection and connection” on page 7-27.)

Use the proper cables suitable for the battery size.
Otherwise heat damage to the cables could result.

Check the jumper cables for damage and corrosion before
use.
