Information 
Prolonged operation of the heater in
the recirculated air position (without
air conditioning selected) may cause
fogging of the windscreen and side
windows and the air within the passen-
ger compartment may become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated air
position selected will result in exces-
sively dry air in the passenger com-
partment.
Fan speed control
The fan speed can be set to the
desired speed by turning the fan
speed control knob.
The higher the fan speed is, the
more air is delivered.
Pressing the OFF button turns off the
fan.
Operating the fan speed when the
POWER button is in the ON posi-
tion could cause the battery to dis-
charge. Operate the fan speed
when the vehicle is running.
NOTICE
i
Continued climate control
system operation in the recir-
culated air position may allow
humidity to increase inside
the vehicle which may fog the
glass and obscure visibility.
Do not sleep in a vehicle with
the air conditioning or heating
system on. It may cause seri-
ous harm or death due to a
drop in the oxygen level
and/or body temperature.
Continued climate control sys-
tem operation in the recirculat-
ed air position can cause
drowsiness or sleepiness, and
loss of vehicle control. Set the
air intake control to the outside
(fresh) air position as much as
possible whilst driving.

2. Set the air intake control to theoutside (fresh) air position.
3. Set the temperature control to the desired position.
4. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
Heating
1. Set the mode to the  position.
2. Set the air intake control to theoutside (fresh) air position.

Operation Tips
 To keep dust or unpleasant fumesfrom entering the vehicle through
the ventilation system, temporarily
set the air intake control to the
recirculated air position. Be sure to
return the control to the fresh air
position when the irritation has
passed to keep fresh air in the
vehicle. This will help keep the driv-
er alert and comfortable.
 Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn in through the grilles just
ahead of the windscreen. Care
should be taken that these are not
blocked by leaves, snow, ice or
other obstructions.
 To prevent interior fog on the wind- screen, set the air intake control to
the fresh air position and fan speed
to the desired position, turn on the
air conditioning system, and adjust
the temperature control to desired
temperature.

Air conditioning system operation
tips
 If the vehicle has been parked indirect sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
 Use air conditioning to reduce humidity and moisture inside the
vehicle on rainy or humid days.
 During air conditioning system operation, you may occasionally
notice a slight change in the vehicle
speed as the air conditioning com-
pressor cycles. This is a normal
system operation characteristic.  Use the air conditioning system
every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system per-
formance.
 When using the air conditioning system, you may notice clear water
dripping (or even puddling) on the
ground under the passenger side of
the vehicle. This is a normal system
operation characteristic.
 Operating the air conditioning sys- tem in the recirculated air position
provides maximum cooling, howev-
er, continual operation in this mode
may cause the air inside the vehicle
to become stale.
 During cooling operation, you may occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of r apid cooling and
humid air intake. This is a normal
system operation characteristic.
System maintenance
Climate control air filter 
This filter is installed behind the
glove box. It filters the dust or other
pollutants that enter the vehicle
through the heating and air condi-
tioning system.
