m:
This
symbol indicates that the vents are
closed. Moving the control to this
direction will close the vents.
m :
This
symbol indicates that the vents are
open. Moving the control to this direc-
tion will open the vents.
Adjust the air flow direction of the vents by moving
the centre knob (up/down, left/right) until the de-
sired position is achieved. WARNING
• The heater and air conditioner operate only
when the engine is running.
• Never leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others alone in
the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone ei-
ther. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls, or move the vehicle, and
inadvertently become involved in
aserious ac-
cident and injure themselves. On hot, sunny
days, temperatures in aclosed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
• Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to be-
come stale and the windows to fog up.
• Do not adjust the heating and air conditioning
controls while driving so that full attention may
be given to vehicle operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate when the
engine is running. The air blower will operate even if
the engine is turned off and the ignition switch is
placed in the ONposition.
NOTE
• Condensation forms inside the air condition-
ing unit when the air conditioner (where fit-
ted) is running, and is safely discharged un-
derneath your vehicle.
Traces of water on the ground are therefore
normal. •
Odours from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odour
can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
• When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odours inside
the vehicle.

OPERATING TIPS (models with
automatic air conditioner)
When the engine coolant temperature and outside
air temperature are low, the air flow from the foot
outlets may not operate. However, this is not amal-
function. After the coolant temperature warms up,
the air flow from the foot outlets will operate nor-
mally. The sensors
jAa ndjB, located on the instrument
panel, help maintain aconstant temperature. Do not
put anything on or around the sensors. SAA2324Z
