select and blower speed, and ON/OFF of the air conditioning will be controlled automati-cally.
To stop the system, turn the blower speed se- lection dial to the “OFF” position.
NOTEl While the engine coolant temperature is low,
the temperature of the air from the heaterwill be cool/cold until the engine warms up, even if you have selected warm air with the
dial. To prevent the windscreen and win-
dows from fogging up, the ventilator mode
will be changed to “
” and the blower
speed will be reduced.
l If the blower speed selection dial, air condi-
tioning switch, mode selection dial, or air se-
lection switch is operated while the system is operating in the AUTO mode, the activa-ted function overrides the corresponding
function of automatic control. All other
functions remain under automatic control.

Important operation tips forthe air conditioning E00708302274
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. Keep the difference between the
vehicle interior temperature and outside
temperature at 5 to 6 °C.
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
HFO-1234yf (Except for vehicles for Russia,
Kazakhstan and Ukraine) or HFC-134a (Ve-
hicles for Russia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine) and the lubricant PAG46A (Except for vehi-
cles for Russia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine) or
SUN-PAG56 (Vehicles for Russia, Kazakh-
stan and Ukraine). 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 is not recommended.
We recommend you to recover and recycle the refrigerant for reuse.
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
E00708400561
An air filter has been incorporated into the air conditioning so that pollen 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.LW/MW/FM radio/CD

Check body areas facing the road or the tyres
carefully for damage to the paint caused by gravels, etc. The paint code number for your
vehicle can be found on the vehicle informa- tion code plate in the engine compartment.Cleaning plastic parts
E00901300707
Use a sponge or chamois leather.
If a car wax adheres on a grey or black rough surface of the bumper, moulding or lamps, the surface becomes white. In such a case,
wipe it off using lukewarm water and soft cloth or chamois leather.
CAUTIONl Do not use a scrubbing brush or other hard
tools as they may damage the plastic part surface.
l Do not use wax containing compound (pol-
ishing powder) which may damage the plas-
tic part surface.
l Do not bring the plastic parts into contact
with petrol, light oil, brake fluids, engine
oils, greases, paint thinners, and sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte) which may crack,stain or discolour the plastic parts.
If they touch the plastic parts, wipe them off
with soft cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous solution of neutral detergent thenimmediately rinse the affected parts with
water.Chrome parts
E00901400098
In order to prevent spots and corrosion of
chrome parts, wash with water, dry thorough-
ly, and apply a special protective coating.
This should be done more frequently in win- ter.
Aluminium wheels*
E00901500347
1. Remove dirt using a sponge while sprin-
kling water on the vehicle.
2. Use neutral detergent on any dirt that
cannot be removed easily with water.
Rinse off the neutral detergent after
washing the vehicle.
3. Dry the vehicle thoroughly using a cha-
mois leather or a soft cloth.
CAUTIONl Do not use a brush or other hard implement
on the wheels.
Doing so could scratch the wheels.
l Do not use any cleaner that contains an abra-
sive substance or is acidic or alkaline. Doing
so could cause the coating on the wheels to peel or become discoloured or stained.
l Do not directly apply hot water using a
steam cleaner or by any other means.
l Contact with seawater and road deicer can
cause corrosion. Rinse off such substances as soon as possible.Window glass
E00901600117
The window glass can normally be cleaned
using only a sponge and water.
Glass cleaner can be used to remove oil, grease, dead insects, etc. After washing the
glass, wipe dry with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Never use a cloth that is used for cleaning a
painted surface to clean a window. Wax from
the painted surface could get on the glass and lower glass transparency and visibility.
NOTEl To clean the inside of the rear window, al-
ways use a soft cloth and wipe the window
glass along the demister heater element so as not to cause damage.Wiper blades
E00901700062

NOTElThe washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen, rear window and headlamps (if soequipped).
During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.
Brake fluid/Clutch fluid*
E01000800631
The brake fluid and the clutch fluid share thereservoir tank.
To check the fluid level
The fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The fluid level is monitored by a float. When
the fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp lights up.The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate any ab-
normality.
The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when doing other work under thebonnet. The brake system should also be checked for leakage at the same time.
If the fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks from the
brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked.
Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or DOT4 from a sealed container. The brake
fluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture in the brake fluid will adversely affect the brake
system, reducing the performance.
CAUTIONl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin
and also damage painted surfaces.CAUTIONl Use only the specified brake fluid.
Do not mix or add different brands of brake fluid to prevent chemical reactions.
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid.
This will damage the seals.
l Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to pre-
vent the brake fluid from deteriorating ex- cept maintenance.
l Clean the filler cap before removing and
close the cap securely after maintenance.Battery
E01001203646
The condition of the battery is very important
for quick starting and to keep the vehicle’s electrical system working properly. Regularinspection and care are especially importantin cold weather.
NOTEl After replacing the battery, the electronic
control system data for the automatic trans- mission, etc., will be erased. As a result,
shift shocks may occur.
Shift shocks will become smoother after sev-
eral changes in speed.
