air will flow to the leg area and the wind-
screen.Important operation tips for
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.

Handling of DiscsE00735900027
This explains care that should be taken in thehandling of discs.
Important Points on Handling
l Fingerprints or other marks on the read
surface of the disc may result in its con-
tent being more difficult to read. When
holding the disc, grip both edges, or one edge and the centre hole, in order that the read surface is not touched.
l Do not affix paper or stickers, or other-
wise damage the disc.
l Do not forcefully insert a disc if another
is already within the device. This can re- sult in damage to discs, or malfunction.
Cleaning
l Periodically clean the read surface of the
disc. When cleaning, do not wipe in a
circular motion. Instead, wipe gently outwards from the centre of the disc to the outer edge.
l New discs may have burring around the
outer edge or in the hole in the centre.
Ensure you check for these. If there are burrs, these may lead to faulty operation,
therefore ensure these are removed.
Important Points on Storage
l When not using discs, ensure these are
kept in cases, and stored out of direct sunlight.
l If discs are not going to be used for a
long period of time, remove these from
the product.
Disc Playback Environment
In cold environments such as in mid-winter
when the interior of the vehicle is cold, turn- ing the heater on and immediately trying to
use the product may cause condensation (wa-
ter droplets) to form on the disc and internal optical components, and this may prevent the product from operating correctly.
In these conditions, remove the disc, and wait
a short time before use.
Copyright
Actions such as unauthorized reproduction,
broadcast, public performance, or rental of discs that comprise other than personal use are prohibited by law.
