the air.
1. Press the
air flow control button.
2. Turn the
fan speed control dial to
the desired position.
3. Press the
button on.

air flow control button.
2. Turn the
fan speed control dial to
the desired position. • When the
orare selected, the
air conditioner automatically turns on if
the outside temperature is more than 36°
F (2° C). This dehumidifies the air which
helps defog the windshield. The
mode automatically turns off, allowing
outside air to be drawn into the passen-
ger compartment to further improve the
defogging performance.
• The air conditioner is always on in the
mode, regardless of whether the in-
dicator light is on or off.
3. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired position.
Operating tips
• Keep the windows and moonroof (if soequipped) closed while the air condi-
tioner is in operation.
• Af ter parking in the sun, drive for two or three minutes with the windows open to
vent hot air from the passenger com-
partment. Then, close the windows. This
allows the air conditioner to cool the inte-
rior more quickly. •
The air conditioning system should be
operated for approximately 10 minutes
at least once a month. This helps pre-
vent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
• A visible mist may be seen coming from the ventilators in hot, humid conditions
as the air is cooled rapidly. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
• If the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature over the normal range, turn
the air conditioner off. For additional
information, refer to “If your vehicle
overheats” in the “In case of emer-
gency ” section of this manual.AIR FLOW CHARTS
The following charts show the button and
dial positions for MAXIMUM AND QUICK
heating, cooling or defrosting. The air re-
circulation (
) button should always

cally. Air flow distribution, fan speed and
A/C on/off are also controlled automati-
cally.
• A visible mist may be seen coming from the vents in hot, humid conditions as the

is turned OFF, the vehicle is shut off or the
A/C button is used to turn off the com-
pressor even if an air flow button other
than
is selected. This dehumidifies
the air which helps defog the windshield.

Terms
• MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the
most well-known compressed digital au-
dio file format. This format allows for near
“CD quality” sound, but at a fraction of the
size of normal audio files. MP3 conversion
of an audio track from CD-ROM can re-
duce the file size by approximately a 10:1
ratio with virtually no perceptible loss in
quality. MP3 compression removes the
redundant and irrelevant parts of a
sound signal that the human ear doesn’t
hear.
• WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA)* is a compressed audio format created by Mi-
crosof t as an alternative to MP3. The WMA
codec offers greater file compression
than the MP3 codec, enabling storage of
more digital audio tracks in the same
amount of space when compared to
MP3s at the same level of quality.
