CAUTIONl For safety, make sure you have a clear view
through all the windows.For ordinary demisting
1. Set the air selection switch to the outside
position.
2. Set the MODE switch to the “
” posi-
tion.
3. Select your desired blower speed by pressing the blower speed selection
switch.
4. Select your desired temperature by pressing the temperature control switch.
5. Push the air conditioning switch.
For quick demisting
1. Push the demister switch to change to the “

3. Set the temperature to the highest posi- tion.
NOTEl To demist effectively, direct the air flow
from the side ventilators towards the door windows.
l Do not set the temperature to the max. cool
position. Cool air will blow against the win-
dow glasses and prevent demisting.

Important operation tips forthe air conditioner E00708302098
l Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the ve-
hicle inside extremely hot, and it will re-
quire more time to cool the interior.
If it is necessary to park in the sun, open
the windows for the first few minutes of air conditioning operation to expel the
hot air.
l Close the windows when the air condi-
tioner is in use. The entry of outside air
through open windows will reduce the cooling efficiency.
l Too much cooling is not good for the
health. Keep the difference between the
vehicle interior temperature and outside
temperature to 5 to 6 °C.
l When operating the system, make sure
the air intake, which is located in front of the windscreen, is free of obstructionssuch as leaves and snow. Leaves collec-
ted in the air-intake plenum may reduce
air flow and plug the plenum water drains.
l Too much cooling/heating can affect the
EV cruising range, so maintain an appro-
priate temperature to extend the EV
cruising range.Air conditioning system refrig-
erant and lubricant recommen-dations
If the air conditioner seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak. We recommend you to have the system
inspected.
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant
HFC-134a and the lubricant POE MA68EV.
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage which will result in the
need to replace your vehicle’s entire air con- ditioning system. The release of refrigerantinto the atmosphere is not recommended.
The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehi-
cle will not harm the ozone layer.
We recommend you to recover and recycle the refrigerant for reuse.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioner should be operated for atleast five minutes each week, even in cold
weather. This is to prevent the compressor from seizing and to maintain the air condi-
tioner in the best operating condition.
Air purifier
E00708400718
An air filter has been incorporated into this air conditioner so that dirt and dust are
cleaned from the air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its ability
to clean the air will be reduced as it collects pollen and dirt. For the maintenance interval,
refer to the “SERVICE BOOKLET”.NOTEl Operation in certain conditions such as driv-
ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioner can lead to reduction of serv-
ice life of the filter. When you feel that the air flow is lower than normal or when the
windscreen or windows start to fog up easi- ly, replace the air filter.
We recommend you to have it checked.Remote Climate Control

E00736400029
MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG-1 Audio
Layer 3”. MPEG is an abbreviation of “Mo-tion Picture Experts Group”, and this is a vid-
eo compression standard used in video CDs, etc.
MP3 is one of the audio compression meth-
ods contained in the MPEG audio standard,
and reduces the quality of sounds that are be- yond the auditory resolution of the human ear
and that are hidden by louder sounds, thus
creating high-quality data with a lower data
size.
This can compress CD audio to approximate- ly 1/10 its original data size without percepti-
ble loss, approximately 10 CDs can be writ-
ten to a single CD-R/RW disc.

may not play back correctly, or file/folder names may not be displayed correctly.

Always maintain your vehicle in compliance
with environmental pollution control regula- tions.
Carefully select the materials used for wash- ing, etc., to be sure that they do not contain
corrosives.
If in doubt, we recommend you to consult a specialist for selection of these materials.CAUTIONl Cleaning products can be dangerous. Always
follow the instructions of the cleaning prod- uct supplier.
l To avoid damage, never use the following to
clean your vehicle,
• Petrol
• Paint Thinner
• Benzine
• Kerosene
• Turpentine
• Naphtha
• Lacquer Thinner
• Carbon Tetrachloride
• Nail Polish Remover
• AcetoneCleaning the interior of your
vehicle E00900200611
After cleaning the interior of your vehicle with water, cleaner or similar, wipe and dry
in a shady, well-ventilated area.NOTEl To clean the inside of the tailgate window,
always use a soft cloth and wipe the windowglass along the demister heater element so as
not to cause damage.CAUTIONl Do not use organic substances (solvents,
benzine, kerosene, alcohol, petrol, etc.) or alkaline or acidic solutions.
These chemicals can cause discolouring, staining or cracking of the surface.
If you use cleaners or polishing agents, make
sure their ingredients do not include the sub- stances mentioned above.Plastic, vinyl leather, fabric
and flocked parts

1. Lightly wipe these off with a soft cloth
soaked in a mild soap and water solu- tion.
2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring it out
well. Using this cloth, wipe off the deter-
gent thoroughly.NOTEl Do not use cleaners, conditioners, and pro-
tectants containing silicons or wax.
Such products can cause discolouring and when applied to the instrument panels orother parts, may cause reflections on the windscreen and obscure vision.
Also, if such products get on the switches of
the electrical accessories, it may lead to fail-
ure of these accessories.
l Do not use synthetic fiber or dry cloth. They
can cause discolouring or damage the sur- face.
l Do not place a deodorizer on the instrument
panel or near lamps and instruments. The in-gredients for deodorizer can cause discolour-
ing or cracking.Upholstery
