position, and turn the temperature
control knob fully towards the high
temperature direction.
Set the fan speed control knob to
the maximum speed position.
Bi-Level Heating :Set the outlet
selector knob to the
)position. Set
the air selector lever to the
P
position. Set the temperature control
knob to the middle position.
Adjust the fan speed control knob
as desired. The air from the floor
outlets is warmer than the air from
the upper outlets in this position.
However, when the temperature
control knob is moved to either the
full hot or the full cold position, the
air from the floor outlets and the air
from the upper outlets will be the
same temperature. This position can
give cool upper level air and warm
floor level air when the temperature
control is adjusted in between cold
and hot. This is useful in cool
weather with bright sunlight
conditions. Defogging and Defrosting the
Windshield
Defogging :
Set the outlet selector
knob to the
1position. Set the air
selector lever to the
Pposition.
Turn the temperature control knob
to a high-temperature position
according to your preference. For
defogging in the summer months,
set the temperature control knob to
any desired position.
Set the fan speed control knob to
any speed position, except the off
position. The A/C compressor
automatically operates when the
1
position is selected. Defogging is
performed very effectively with the
dehumidifying effect.
Defrosting : Set the outlet selector
knob to the
1position. Set the air
selector lever to the
Oposition.
Turn the temperature control knob
fully towards the high-temperature
direction. Set the fan speed control
knob to the maximum speed
position. After defrosting, be certain to return
the air selector lever to the
P
position. Failure to do so will cause
the windshield to fog up, impeding
forward visibility.
Cooling
Normal/Moderate Cooling :
This
setting is suitable for extended
periods of cooling or moderate
cooling. Press the A/C switch to the
on position.
Set the outlet selector knob to the
Hposition for normal cooling or set
it to the
)position for moderate
cooling. Adjust the temperature
control knob to the desired position.
Adjust the fan speed control knob
as desired
Maximum Cooling : Set the outlet
selector knob to the
Hposition.
Press the A/C switch to the on
position. Move the air selector lever
to the
Oposition

direction. Set the fan speed control
knob to the maximum speed
position.
After prolonged parking in direct
sunlight, open the windows or doors
to ventilate the interior of the cab
and release the heat.
During cooling operation, mist may
come out of the air outlets. This
results from quick cooling of humid
air, and does not indicate any
problem.Air Vents

Service
The air conditioning system will not
be able to cool the cab interior
effectively if the refrigerant level is
low. Accordingly, the refrigerant
level must be topped up whenever
necessary.
Please contact your dealer
whenever refrigerant must be
added. Operation Tips
Operating the air conditioning while
the refrigerant level is too low leads
not only to poor cooling
performance but also to air
conditioning system damage.
This vehicle uses the new
refrigerant HFC134a (R134a) in the
air conditioning system. No other
type of refrigerant can be used. In
order to protect the environment,
care must be taken to ensure that
refrigerant gas is never released
into open air. When refrigerant must
be replaced, therefore, please
contact your dealer or other service
facility equipped with a gas recovery
installation system.

or corroded exhaust system or
cab. Do not run the engine in
confined areas (such as garages,
next to a building or near another
stopped vehicles with engine
running) any more than needed to
move the vehicle.
When the vehicle has to be
stopped in an unconfined area
with the engine running for any
more than a few minutes, take the
following steps:. Adjust the heating or cooling
system to force outside air
into the cab.
. With temperature and outlet
selector knob in any
position:
. Set the air selector lever to
the fresh air position.
. Set the fan speed control
knob to the maximum speed
position.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Keep the exhaust tailpipe
area clear of snow and
other material to help
reduce the buildup of
exhaust gases under the
vehicle.
This is particularly important when
parked in blizzard conditions. You
and others could be seriously
injured.
See Climate Control Systems 0126
and Maintenance Schedule 0345.
Running the Vehicle
While Parked
Caution
To reduce the chance of personal
injury and/or vehicle damage due
to engine overheating, never
leave the engine idling without an
alert driver present. If the engine
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
should overheat, as indicated by
the engine coolant temperature
gauge, immediate action is
required to correct the condition.
Continued operation of the
engine, even for a short time, may
result in a fire. Do not engage the
exhaust brake while the engine is
idling as this may cause engine
overheating.
Avoid Unnecessary Idling of the
Diesel Engine
If the engine idles too long, the
engine coolant temperature will fall
below the operating range. Low
engine operating temperature
causes several conditions that are
harmful to engine operation and life.
Incomplete combustion of fuel in an
engine that is not fully warmed-up
causes crankcase dilution and
forms lacquer and gummy deposits
on valves, pistons, and rings. It also
causes rapid accumulation of
sludge within the engine.
