Demisting of the windscreenand door windows
E00704300689
CAUTIONl For safety, make sure you have a clear view
through all the windows.
To remove frost or mist from the windscreen
and door windows, use the mode selection di-
al (“
” or “”).
For ordinary demisting
Use this setting to keep the windscreen and door windows clear of mist, and to keep the
leg area heated (when driving in rain or
snow).
1. Set the air selection switch (A) to the outside position.
2. Set the mode selection dial to the “
”
position.
3. Select your desired blower speed by turning the blower speed selection dial.
4. Select your desired temperature by turn-
ing the temperature control dial.
5. Push the air conditioning switch (B).
For quick demisting

Important operation tips forthe air conditioning E00708300951
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 efficiency.
l Too much cooling is not good for the
health. The inside air temperature should
only be 5 to 6 °C below the outside air temperature.
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 ZXL-100PG.
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 should be prevented.
It is recommended that the refrigerant be re- covered and recycled for further use.
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 poor lubrication of the compressor internal parts and to main-
tain the air conditioning in the best operating
condition.
Air purifier*
E00708400675
An air filter has been incorporated into this air conditioning 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 conditioning can lead to reduction of
service 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
easily, replace the air filter.
We recommend you to have it checked.
