reduce the cooling efficiency.
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.
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 collected in the air-intake
plenum may reduce air flow and plug
the plenum water drains.
Air conditioning system refrigerant
recommendations
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 (R134a).
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant
will cause severe damage which will
result in the need to replace your
vehicle’s entire air conditioning system.
The release of refrigerant into the
atmosphere should be prevented.
It is recommended that the refrigerant
be recovered 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 preventpoor lubrication of the compressor
internal parts and to maintain the air
conditioning in the best operating
condition.PASSENGER
COMPARTMENT AIR
CLEANER / POLLEN
FILTER
An air filter has been incorporated into
this air conditioner so that dirt 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.
NOTE Operation in certain conditions
such as driving on a dusty road and
frequent use of the air conditioner can
lead to reduction of service life of the
filter. When you feel that the airflow 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.

opened, the windows cannot be
operated.
Safety mechanism (driver’s window
only)
74) 75) 76)
When the door window is automatically
closed by pulling up the switch fully, if a
hand or head is trapped in the closing
window, it will lower automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody
puts their head or hand out of the
window when closing the driver’s door
window. The lowered window will
become operational after a few
seconds.NOTE The safety mechanism can be
activated if the driving conditions or
other circumstances cause the driver’s
door window to be subjected to a
physical shock similar to that caused by
a trapped hand or head.
NOTE If the safety mechanism is
activated five or more times in a row,
the safety mechanism will be cancelled
and the door window will not close
correctly. In such a case, the following
procedure should be implemented to
rectify this situation. If the window is
open, repeatedly raise the driver’s door
window switch until that window has
been fully closed. Following this, release
the switch, raise the switch once again
and hold it in this condition for at least
1 second, then release it. You should
now be able to operate in the normal
way.
NOTE If the battery terminals are
disconnected or the fuse for electric
window is replaced, the safety
mechanism will be cancelled and the
door window will not automatically
open/close completely. If the window is
open, repeatedly raise the driver’s door
window switch until the window has
been fully closed. Following this, release
the switch, raise the switch once again
and hold it in this condition for at least
1 second, then release it. You should
now be able to operate the driver’s door
window in the normal way.
WARNING
69)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that nobody is
exposed to the risk of being injured either
directly by the moving window or through
objects getting caught or by being hit.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key from the ignition switch to avoid the
risk of injury to anyone remaining in the car
due to accidental operation of the electric
windows.
70)Before operating the electric window
control, make sure that nothing is capable
of being trapped (head, hand, finger, etc.).
71)Never leave the vehicle without
removing the key. Never leave a child (or
other person who might not be capable of
safe operation of the electric window
control) in the vehicle alone.
72)A child may tamper with the switch at
the risk of its hands or head being trapped
in the window.
73)When driving with a child in the vehicle,
please press the window lock switch to
disable the passenger’s switches.
74)If the battery terminals are
disconnected or the fuse for electric
window is replaced, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled. If a hand or head got
trapped, a serious injury could result.
75)The safety mechanism is cancelled just
before the window is fully closed. This
allows the window to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no
fingers are trapped in the window.
