Open  the  fuel  tank  filler  tube  by  slowly
turning the cap anticlockwise.
1- Remove
2- Close
CAUTIONl For  diesel-powered  1600  models,  the  fuel
cap does not turn more than 90 degrees.
Turning forcibly could damage the fuel cap.
l Since the fuel system may be under pressure,
remove  the  fuel  cap  slowly.  This  relieves
any  pressure  or  vacuum  that  might  have built up in the fuel tank. If you hear a hissingsound from the cap, wait until it stops before
removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray
out, injuring you or others.
4. While filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap
cord on the hook located on the inside of
the fuel tank filler door.
5. Insert the gun in the tank port as far as it
goes.
CAUTIONl Do not tilt the gun.6.
When  the  gun  stops  automatically,  do
not fill with fuel any more.
7. Close the fuel cap. [Except  for  diesel-powered  vehicles
1600 models]
To  close,  turn  the  fuel  cap  slowly  clock-
wise until you hear clicking sounds, then
gently  push  the  fuel  tank  filler  door closed.
[For diesel-powered 1600 models]
Fit the fuel cap with the cap handle side-
ways and turn it clockwise.Installation of accessories

the air conditioning E00708301033
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-
tioning is in use.
The  entry  of  outside  air  through  open
windows  will  reduce  the  cooling  effi- ciency.
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 obstructions such  as  leaves  and  snow.  Leaves  collec- ted  in  the  air-intake  plenum  may  reduce
air  flow  and  plug  the  plenum  water
drains.Air conditioning system refrig-
erant and lubricant recommen- dations
If  the  air  conditioning  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 SUN-PAG56.
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  refrigerant into 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 conditioning should be operated for at
least  five  minutes  each  week,  even  in  cold
weather.  This  is  to  prevent  the  compressor from  seizing  and  to  maintain  the  air  condi-
tioning in the best operating condition.
