To remove frost or fog from the windshield and door windows, use
the mode selection
dial (“ ” or “ ”). Use this setting to ke
ep the windshield and
door windows clear of mist, and to keep the leg area heated (when driving in rain orsnow). 1. Set the air selection switch (A) to the out- side position.
NOTE
If the outside air is dus
ty or contaminated in
some way, set the air selection switch (A) tothe recirculation positi
on. Let in some out-
side air from time to time for good ventila- tion. To cool the leg areas,
set the mode selection
dial to the “ ” position. When the blower speed
selection dial is set
to the “AUTO” position, the air flow is adjusted automatically according to the tem-perature of the interior and the position of the temperature control dial.
NOTE
Do not use the cooling function with the MAX switch for a l
ong time. Because the
power consumption is gr
eatly increased, the

1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever possible. Parking in the hot sun makes thevehicle interior extremely hot which then requires more time to cool. If it is neces- sary to park in the sun, open the windowsfor the first few minutes of air condition- ing to expel the hot air. 2. Afterwards, keep the windows closedwhen the air conditioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows will reduce cooling efficiency.
3. When running the air conditioning, make sure the air intake, which is located infront of the windshield, is free of obstruc- tions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake chamber may reduce airflow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak. Have the system inspected by a certified i-MiEV dealer.
NOTE
When the mode selection dial is set to the “ ” position, the air conditioning com- pressor runs automatically. Outside air intro-duction will also be se
lected automatically.
When defrosting, do not set the temperature control dial to the
maximum cool position.
This would blow c
ool air on the window
glass and fog it up. Since defogging or defrosting with the MAX switch consumes a la
rge amount of power,
stop the switch after
defogging or defrosting.
Use the MAX setting for a long time decreases the cruising range.

Your vehicle’s radio receives both AM andFM stations. The quality of your reception is affected by distance, obstacles, a
nd signal interference.
This radio complies with
Part 15 of Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Rules (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.). Operation is subject to the following conditions: The device may not cause harmful inter- ference. This device must ac
cept any interference
recieved, including interference that maycause undesirable operation.
FM signals do not follow the earth surface nor are they reflected by the upper atmo-sphere. For this reason
, FM broadcasts cannot
be received over long
distances. AM signals
follow the earth’s surface and are reflected bythe upper atmosphere. For this reason, AM broadcasts can be rece
ived over longer dis-
tances.
Because of the limited
range of FM signals
and the way FM waves transmit, you may experience weak or
fading FM reception.
When the broadcast is blocked by mountains or similar obstructions,
reception can be dis-
turbed. The reason why one can hear FM but not AM in parking garages, under
bridges etc., is that
FM signals, unlike AM
signals, are reflected
by solid objects such
as buildings, etc.
Because FM signals ar
e easily reflected by
buildings, this can also cause reception dis- turbances.The direct signal from
the broadcast station
reaches the antenna sl
ightly before the
reflected signal. This
time difference may
cause some reception di
sturbance or flutter.
This problem occurs primarily in urban areas.
NOTE
Reset the time after the 12V starter battery terminals are disconnect
ed and reconnected.
Seconds do not appear
in the clock display,
but after adjusting the “minutes” setting, theclock begins to operate from 0 seconds.
