CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM Operating Tips
The air conditioning system will only
operate with the engine running.
To prevent the battery from being
discharged while the engine is off, do
not leave the Blower Control Knob on
for extended periods of time.
To improve system efficiency, clear all
obstructions (leaves, snow and ice)
from the hood and the air inlet in the
grille.
Use the air conditioning system to
defog the windows and dehumidify the
air.
Recirculation mode should be used
when driving through tunnels, while in a
traffic jam, or when you would like to
quickly cool the interior.
Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windshield defrosting.
If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, and
then run the air conditioning system. To keep the internal parts lubricated
and the system running smoothly, run
the air conditioner about 10 minutes at
least once a month.
Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot. A lack of
refrigerant may make the air conditioner
less efficient. The refrigerant
specifications are indicated on a label
(A or B depending on the market)
attached to the inside of the engine
compartment. Check the label before
refilling the refrigerant. If the wrong type
of refrigerant is used, it could result in a
serious malfunction of the air
conditioner. For details, contact your
authorized dealer. Caution!The system uses a coolant that is
compatible with the laws in force in the
countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a
or R1234yf (indicated on a specific plate in
the engine compartment). The use of other
coolants affects the efficiency and condition
of the system. Also the compressor
coolants used must be compatible with the
indicated coolant.
Vent Operation
Adjusting The Vents
To adjust the direction of air flow, move
the vent adjustment knob.
Note: When using the air conditioner in
humid conditions, fog may blow from
the vents. This is a result of humid air
being suddenly cooled and does not
indicate a system malfunction. 06010100121001

cleaners on the interior surface of the
window. Use a soft cloth and a mild
washing solution, wiping parallel to the
heating elements. Labels can be peeled off
after soaking with warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments,
or abrasive window cleaners on the interior
surface of the window.
Keep all objects a safe distance from the
window. Note:
Before opening the convertible top,
make sure the Rear Window Defrost
Button is turned off. Otherwise, the
heat generated from the defroster

monitor the Engine Coolant
Temperature Warning Light to see if it
is illuminated or flashing. The air
conditioner may cause engine
overheating in these situations. If the
warning light is illuminated or flashing,
turn the air conditioning off
immediately.
When maximum cooling is desired,
set the Temperature Control Knob to
the extreme cold position, push the Air
Recirculation Button to activate the
recirculated air position, and then turn
the fan control dial fully clockwise.
If warmer air is desired at floor level,
set the Mode Selector Knob to the
