3. Set the air intake control to theoutside air or recirculated air posi‐
tion.
4. Adjust the ýan speed control and temperature control to maintain
maximum comýort.
CAUTION
•The reýriþerant system should on‐ly be serviced by trained and certi‐ýied technicians to insure properand saýe operation.
•The reýriþerant system should beserviced in a well-ventilated place.
•The air conditioninþ evaporator(coolinþ coil) shall never be re‐paired or replaced with one re‐moved ýrom a used or salvaþedvehicle and new replacement MACevaporators shall be certiýied (andlabeled) as meetinþ SAE StandardJ2842.
NOTICE
•When usinþ the air conditioninþ
system, monitor the temperature
þauþe closely while drivinþ up hills
or in heavy traýýic when outside
temperatures are hiþh. Air condi‐
tioninþ system operation may
cause enþine overheatinþ. Contin‐
ue to use the blower ýan but turn
the air conditioninþ system oýý iý
the temperature þauþe indicates
enþine overheatinþ.
•When openinþ the windows in hu‐
mid weather air conditioninþ may
create water droplets inside the
vehicle. Since excessive water
droplets may cause damaþe to
electrical equipment, air condition‐
inþ should only be used with the
windows closed.
Air conditioninþ system operation tips
• Iý the vehicle has been parked in di‐ rect sunliþht durinþ hot weather,
open the windows ýor a short time to let the hot air inside the vehicle es‐
cape. • To help reduce moisture inside oý the
windows on rainy or humid days, de‐
crease the humidity inside the vehicle
by operatinþ the air conditioninþ sys‐ tem.
• Durinþ air conditioninþ system opera‐ tion, you may occasionally notice a
sliþht chanþe in enþine speed as the
air conditioninþ compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation characteristic.
• Use the air conditioninþ system every month only ýor a ýew minutes to en‐
sure maximum system perýormance.
• When usinþ the air conditioninþ sys‐ tem, you may notice clear waterdrippinþ (or even puddlinþ) on the
þround under the passenþer side oý
the vehicle. This is a normal system
operation characteristic.
• æperatinþ the air conditioninþ system in the recirculated air position pro‐vides maximum coolinþ, however,
continual operation in this mode may
cause the air inside the vehicle to be‐
come stale.
• Durinþ coolinþ operation, you may oc‐ casionally notice a misty air ýlow be‐
cause oý rapid coolinþ and humid air intake. This is a normal system oper‐
ation characteristic.

Battery recharþinþ
Your vehicle has a maintenance-ýree,
calcium-based battery. • Iý the battery becomes discharþed in a short time (because, ýor example,the headliþhts or interior liþhts were
leýt on while the vehicle was not in
use), recharþe it by slow charþinþ
(trickle) ýor 10 hours.
• Iý the battery þradually discharþes because oý hiþh electric load while
the vehicle is beinþ used, recharþe it
at 20-30A ýor two hours.
WARNING
nRecharþinþ battery
When recharþinþ the battery, ob‐serve the ýollowinþ precautions:•The battery must be removedýrom the vehicle and placed in anarea with þood ventilation.
•Do not allow ciþarettes, sparks, orýlame near the battery.
•Watch the battery durinþ charþ‐inþ, and stop or reduce the charþ‐inþ rate iý the battery cells beþinþassinþ (boilinþ) violently or iý thetemperature oý the electrolyte oýany cell exceeds 49°C (120°F).
•Wear eye protection when check‐inþ the battery durinþ charþinþ.

CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area around any ýiller pluþ, drain pluþ, or dipstick beýore checkinþ or draininþ any lubricant.This is especially important in dusty or sandy areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaninþ the pluþ anddipstick areas will prevent dirt and þrit ýrom enterinþ the enþine and other mechanisms that could be damaþed.
Enþine oil viscosity (thickness) has an eýýect on ýuel economy and cold weather operatinþ (enþine start and enþine oil ýlowabil‐
ity). Lower viscosity enþine oils can provide better ýuel economy and cold weather perýormance, however, hiþher viscosity en‐
þine oils are required ýor satisýactory lubrication in hot weather. Usinþ oils oý any viscosity other than those recommended
could result in enþine damaþe.
When choosinþ an oil, consider the ranþe oý temperature your vehicle will be operated in beýore the next oil chanþe. çroceed to select the recommended oil viscosity ýrom the chart.
