Daily Inspection Checklist
Before Driving
60A187S
1) Make sure that windows, mirrors, lights, and reflectors are clean and unob-structed. 2) Visually check the tires for the following points:– the depth of the tread groove – abnormal wear, cracks and damage – loose wheel nuts– existence of foreign material such as nails, stones, etc. Refer to “Tires” in “INSPECTION ANDMAINTENANCE” section for details. 3) Look for fluid and oil leaks.
WA R N I N G
Avoid breathing exhaust gases. Exhaust gases contain carbon mon- oxide, a potentially lethal gas that is colorless and odorless. Since carbonmonoxide is difficult to detect by itself, be sure to take the following precautions to help prevent carbonmonoxide from entering your vehicle. • Do not leave the engine running in garages or other confined areas.(Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)• Do not park with the engine run- ning for a long period of time, even in an open area. If it is necessary to sit for a short time in a parked vehi- cle with the engine running, make sure the air intake selector is set to “FRESH AIR” and the fan is at highspeed. • Avoid operating the vehicle with the tailgate or trunk open. If it isnecessary to operate the vehicle with the tailgate or trunk open, make sure the sunroof (if equipped)and all windows are closed, and the blower is at high speed with the air intake selector set to “FRESH AIR”.• To allow proper operation of your vehicle’s ventilation system, keep the air inlet grille in front of thewindshield clear of snow, leaves, or other obstructions at all times. • Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clearof snow and other material to help reduce the buildup of exhaust gases under the vehicle. This isparticularly important when parked in blizzard conditions. • Have the exhaust system inspectedperiodically for damage and leaks. Any damage or leaks should be repaired immediately.

faster if you open the windows briefly while you operate the air conditioner with the air intake selector at “FRESH AIR”and the blower at high speed.
DehumidifyingSet the air flow selector to a desired air flow selector position, the temperature selector to the desired temperature position and theblower speed selector to the desired blower speed position. Also select “FRESH AIR” and turn on the “A/C” switch.
NOTE:Because the air conditioner dehumidifiesthe air, turning it on will help keep the win- dows clear, even when blowing heated air using the “DEFROST” or “HEAT &DEFROST” functions.
76MH0A090
NOTE:If you need maximum defrosting:• set the air flow selector to “DEFROST”,
• set the blower speed selector to HIGH, • adjust the temperature selector to the HOT end, • turn on the “A/C” switch, and• adjust the side outlets so the air blows on the side windows.
MaintenanceIf you do not use the air conditioner for a long period, such as during winter, it may not give the best performance when youstart using it again. To help maintain opti- mum performance and durability of your air conditioner, it needs to be run periodically.Operate the air conditioner at least once a month for one minute with the engine idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oiland helps protect the internal components.
NOTE: Your vehicle uses the air conditioning refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly called “R-134a”. R-134a replaced R-12 around1993 for automotive applications. Other refrigerants are available, including recy- cled R-12, but only R-134a should be usedin your vehicle.
Radio Antenna

The radio antenna on the roof is remov-able. To remove the antenna, turn it coun-terclockwise. To reinstall the antenna, turn it clockwise firmly by hand.
EXAMPLE
NOTICE
Using the wrong refrigerant may damage your air conditioning sys- tem. Use R-134a only. Do not mix or replace the R-134a with other refrig-erants.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the radio antenna: • Remove the antenna when using anautomatic car wash. • Remove the antenna when the antenna hits anything such as alow ceiling in a parking garage or putting a car cover over your vehi- cle.
