apply the parking brake.
2. Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure of all four (4) tires to the
specified pressure indicated on the tire
pressure label located on the driver's
door frame (door open).
Refer to Tires on page 9-10.

CAUTION
If the system initialization is performed
without adjusting the tire pressure, the
system cannot detect the normal tire
pressure and it may not illuminate the tire
pressure monitoring system warning light
even if a tire pressure is low, or it may
illuminate the light even if the pressures are
normal.
Adjust the tire pressure on all four tires and
initialize the system when the warning
light is turned on. If the warning light turns
on for a reason other than a flat tire, the
tire pressure of all four tires may have
decreased naturally.
The system initialization will not be
performed if the switch is pressed while the
vehicle is being driven.

CAUTION
If the air conditioner is used while driving
up long hills or in heavy traffic, monitor the
high engine coolant temperature warning
light to see if it is illuminated or flashing
(page 4-23).
The air conditioner may cause engine
overheating. If the warning light is
illuminated or flashing, turn the air
conditioner off (page 7-20).
NOTE
When maximum cooling is desired, set
the temperature control dial to the
extreme cold position and set the air
intake selector to the recirculated air
position, then turn the fan control dial
fully clockwise.
If warmer air is desired at floor level,
set the mode selector dial at the
position and adjust the temperature
control dial to maintain maximum
comfort.
The air to the floor is warmer than air
to the face (except wh en the temperature
control dial is set at the extreme hot or
cold position).
▼ Ventilation
1. Set the mode sel
ector dial to the
position.
2. Set the air intake selector to the outside air position.
3. Set the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
4. Set the fan control dial to the desired speed.
▼Windshield Defrosting and
Defogging
1. Set the mode selector dial to the
position.
2. Set the temperature control dial to the desired position.
3. Set the fan control dial to the desired speed.
4. If dehumidified heating is desired, turn
on the air conditioner.
WA R N I N G
Do not defog the windshield using the
position with the temperature control set to
the cold position:
Using the
position with the temperature
control set to the cold position is dangerous
as it will cause the outside of the
windshield to fog up. Your vision will be
hampered, which could lead to a serious
accident. Set the temperature control to the
hot or warm position when using the
position.
NOTE
For maximum defrosting, turn on the air
conditioner, set the temperature control
dial to the extreme hot position, and turn
the fan control dial fully clockwise.
If warm air is desired at the floor, set the
mode selector dial to the
position.
In the or position, the air
conditioner is automatically turned on
and the outside air position is
