NOTEz The cool air from the ventilators may appear
as a mist.
This is due to moist air being suddenly
cooled by the air conditioning. This will
clear after a few moments.
z Be careful not to spill drinks, etc., into the
ventilators.
Doing so might cause the air conditioning not to function normally.

NOTEzWhile the engine coolant temperature is low,
the temperature of the air from the heater will be cool/cold until the engine warms up, even if you have selected warm air with the
dial.
z On vehicles with the automatic air condi-
tioning, when the temperature is set to the highest or the lowest setting under the AU-
TO operation, the air selection and the air
conditioning will be automatically changed as follows.

NOTEzOn vehicles with the automatic air condi-
tioning, when the mode selection dial or the
blower speed selection dial is set to the “AUTO” position again after manual opera-tion, the air selection dial will also be auto-
matically controlled.
z On vehicles with the automatic air condi-
tioning, when the engine coolant tempera-
ture rises to a certain level, the air selection is automatically switched to the recirculation
position and the indication lamp (A) comes on. At this time, the system will not switch
to the outside position even if the air selec-
tion switch is pushed.Customizing the air selection
Functions can be changed as desired, as sta-
ted below.
z Enable automatic air control

NOTEzSometimes, for example after using a high-
pressure car wash, the condenser can get wet, and the operation indication lamp (A)
blinks temporarily. In this case there is noth- ing wrong. Wait a while, press the air condi-
tioning switch once to turn the system off, then once more to turn it back on. Once the
water evaporates, the blinking will stop.Customizing the air condition-
ing switch (Automatic air condi- tioning)
Functions can be changed as desired, as sta-
ted below.
z Enable automatic air conditioning con-
trol:
If the mode selection dial or blower
speed selection dial is turned to the “AUTO” position, or the temperature
control dial is set to the minimum tem-
perature, the air conditioning switch is controlled automatically.
z Disable automatic air conditioning con-
trol:
The air conditioning switch is not con-
trolled automatically as long as the air
conditioning switch is not operated.

Cooling (Manual air condition-ing)
1. Set the mode selection dial to the “”
position.
2. Set the air selection switch (A) to the outside position.
3. Push the air conditioning switch (B).
4. Change the temperature by turning the control dial clockwise or anticlockwise.
5. Select the desired blower speed.
CAUT,ONz If the outside air is dusty or otherwise conta-
minated, or if high cooling performance is
desired, set air selection switch to the recir-
culation position and the temperature control dial all the way to the left.
Switch to the outside position periodically to increase ventilation so that the windows donot become fogged up.NOTEz When the air conditioning operates with the
selection switch in the outside position, the
system automatically determines whether to continue using outside air or to perform re-
circulation. If the outside air temperature is high, the system selects recirculation to ach- ieve rapid cooling and causes the indication
lamp in the switch to illuminate. Press the
selection switch to return to outside air intro- duction.Combination of unheated air
and heated air (Manual air con- ditioning)
Select the mode selection dial to the position shown in the illustration and set the air selec-
tion switch (A) to the outside position.
The air flow will be directed to the leg area
and the upper part of the passenger compart- ment. Select the desired blower speed.
Warm air flows to the leg area and unheated
or slightly warm air (depending upon temper-
ature setting) flows to the upper part of the
passenger compartment.Automatic mode (Automatic air
conditioning)
In normal conditions, use the system in the
AUTO mode and follow these procedures: 1. Set the blower speed selection dial to the
“AUTO” position.
2. Set the temperature control dial to the
desired temperature.
3. Set the mode selection dial to the “AU-
