lRecirculated air: Indication lamp (A) is
ON
Air is recirculated inside the passenger
compartment.CAUTIONl Normally, use the outside position to keep
the windscreen and side windows clear and quickly remove fog or frost from the wind- screen.
If high cooling performance is desired, or if
the outside air is dusty or otherwise contami- nated use the recirculation position.Switch to the outside position periodically to
increase ventilation so that the windows do not become fogged up.
l Use of the recirculation position for exten-
ded time may cause the windows to fog up.NOTEl If you press the AUTO switch to select auto-
matic control after manually switching be-tween outside air and recirculated air, the air selection will also be automatically control- led.AUTO switch

NOTElIf a problem is detected in the air condition-
ing compressor, the air conditioning opera- tion indication lamp (A) blinks. Stop the ve- hicle in a safe place, turn off the engine, then
restart the engine. If the air conditioning op- eration indication lamp does not blink, thereis no problem. If it does blink, we recom-
mend you to have it checked.
l Sometimes, for example after using a high-
pressure car wash, the condenser can get
wet, and the operation indication lamp (A) blinks temporarily. In this case there is noth-ing wrong. Stop the vehicle in a safe place,
turn off the engine, then restart the engine. Once the water evaporates, the blinking will
stop.OFF switch

AUTO mode and follow these procedures: 1. Push the AUTO switch.
2. Select the temperature control dial to the
desired temperature.

The mode selection, blower speed ad-
justment, recirculated/outside air selec- tion, temperature adjustment, and air
conditioner ON/OFF status are all con- trolled automatically.
CAUTIONl For vehicles with
A/T, while the vehicle is
stationary, fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from creeping caused by
slightly increased idling speed when the air conditioning compressor is switched on au-
tomatically.NOTEl When the temperature is set to the highest or
the lowest setting under the AUTO opera-
tion, the air selection and the air condition- ing will be automatically changed as fol-
lows.
Also, if the air selection is operated manual- ly after an automatic changeover, manualoperation will be selected.
• Quick Heating (When the temperature is
set to the highest setting)

For ordinary demisting
Use this setting to keep the windscreen anddoor windows clear of mist, and to keep the
leg area heated.
1. Set the air selection switch (A) to the outside position.
2. Set the MODE switch (B) 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.

conditioning will operate automatically and the outside air position will also be selected
automatically.
(In this case, the air conditioning indication
lamp will not change.)
l To demist effectively, direct the air flow
from the side ventilators towards the door
windows.
l Do not set the temperature control dial to the
max. cool position. Cool air will blow
against the window glasses and prevent de- misting.Rear air conditioning*
E00704600073
The rear air conditioning can only be used while the engine is running and the front air
conditioning is switched on.
When the front air conditioning is not switch-
ed on, only blower operation without cooling is possible.Control panel

7-10OVWE16E1For pleasant driving7

NOTElThe rear air conditioning will not operate
unless the front air conditioning compressor
is operating.
Always switch the front air conditioning
compressor on before using the rear air con- ditioning. If the front air conditioning com-
pressor is not operating, the system will just operate as a blower.Important operation tips for
the air conditioning E00708300889
lPark 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 ND-OIL8.
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.
The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehi-
cle will not harm the ozone layer.
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 the compressor
from seizing and to maintain the air condi- tioning in the best operating condition.
Air purifier (with
deodorizing function) E00708400183
An air filter is incorporated into the air condi-tioning system to remove pollen, dust, tobac-
co smells and exhaust smells.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and
dirt is reduced as it becomes dirty, so replace it periodically. 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 the air flow rate suddenly drops or when the windscreenor windows start to fog up easily, the air fil-
ter requires replacement. We recommend
you to have it checked.
