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

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
cruising range is shortened.

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.

The air conditioning should be operated for at least five minutes each week, even in cold weather. This includes the quick defrostingmode. Operating the
air condition system
weekly maintains lubrication of the compres- sor internal parts and maintains the air condi-tioning in the best operating condition.

The air conditioning system is equipped with an air filter to reduc
e pollen and dust entering
the cabin.The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dust will be reduced as
it becomes dirty, so
replace it periodically. For the maintenanceinterval, refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.

CAUTION The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a and the lubricant POE MA68EV.Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage a
nd may require replac-
ing your vehicle’s en
tire air conditioning
system. The release of refrigerant into the atmo- sphere is not recommended.The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehi- cle is designed not to harm the earth’s ozone layer. However, it may contribute slightly toglobal warming. It is recommended that the old refrigerant be saved and recycled for future use.
During a long period of disuse

NOTE
 Operation in certain conditions such as driv- ing on a dusty road or frequent use of the air conditioning can reduce
the service life of
the filter. When you feel that the air flow is lower than normal or when the windshield or windows start to fog up easily, replace the airfilter. Contact a certified i-MiEV dealer for assis- tance.
