1. Set the air selection switch to the outsideposition.2. Select the MODE switch to the desiredposition.3. Select the temperature control switch tothe desired position.4. Select the desired blower speed (thehigher the better).5. Ensure all windows are closed (to pressur-ise the cabin).
If you are driving behind another vehicle on adirt road and/or the outside air is dusty orcontaminated, set the air selection switch tothe recirculation position. During periods ofextended driving, ventilate the vehicle’s inte-rior by occasionally setting the switch fromthe recirculation to the outside position.

zPark the vehicle in the shade.Parking in the hot sun will make the vehi-cle inside extremely hot, and it willrequire more time to cool the interior.If it is necessary to park in the sun, openthe windows for the first few minutes ofair conditioning operation to expel the hotair.
zClose the windows when the air condi-tioner is in use. The entry of outside airthrough open windows will reduce thecooling efficiency.zTo o m u c h c o o l i n g i s n o t g o o d f o r t h ehealth. The inside air temperature shouldonly be 5 to 6 °C below the outside airtemperature.zWhen operating the system, make sure theair intake, which is located in front of thewindscreen, is free of obstructions such asleaves and snow. Leaves collected in theair-intake plenum may reduce air flowand plug the plenum water drains.zTo o m u c h c o o l i n g / h e a t i n g c a n a f f e c t t h eEV cruising range, so maintain an appro-priate temperature to extend the EV cruis-ing range.
If the air conditioner seems less effective thanusual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak.We r e c o m m e n d y o u t o h a v e t h e s y s t e minspected.The air conditioning system in your vehiclemust be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a and the lubricant POE MA68EV.
