Backing up near a projecting object
The predictive course linesdo not
touch the object in the display. However,
the vehicle may hit the object if it projects
over the actual backing up course.

Backing up behind a projecting
object
The positionis shown farther than the
positionin the display. However, the
positionis actually at the same dis-
tance as the position. The vehicle may
hit the object when backing up to the position
if the object projects over the
actual backing up course.
HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTIVE
COURSE LINES
WARNING
. If the tires are replaced with
different sized tires, the predic-
tive course lines may be dis-
played incorrectly.
. On a snow-covered or slippery
road, there may be a difference
between the predictive course
line and the actual course line.
. If the battery is disconnected or
becomes discharged, the predic-
tive course lines may be dis-
played incorrectly. If this occurs,
please perform the following pro-
cedures:
— Turn the steering wheel from
lock to lock while the engine is
running.
— Drive the vehicle on a straight road for more than 5 minutes.
. When the steering wheel is
turned with the ignition switch in
the ON position, the predictive
course lines may be displayed

WARNING
.The heater and air conditioner
operate only when the engine is
running.
. Never leave children or adults
who would normally require the
support of others alone in the
vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or con-
trols and inadvertently become
involved in a serious accident
and injure themselves. On hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause se-
vere or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
. Do not use the recirculation mode
for long periods as it may cause
the interior air to become stale
and the windows to fog up.
. Do not adjust the heating and air
conditioning controls while driv-
ing so that full attention may be
given to vehicle operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate
when the engine is running. The air blower will operate even if the engine is
turned off and the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
NOTE:
.
Odors from inside and outside the
vehicle can build up in the air condi-
tioner unit. Odor can enter the pas-
senger compartment through the
ventilators.
. When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into
the passenger compartment. This
should help reduce odors inside the
vehicle.

1. Push the
button. (The indicator
light will turn off.)
2. Push the

light will turn on.)
3. Turn the
dial to the desired
position.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired position.
Heating and defogging:
This mode heats the interior and defogs
the windows.
1. Push the
button. (The indicator
light will turn on.)
2. Turn the
dial to the desired
position.
3. Turn the temperature control dial to the maximum hot (right) position.
When the
button is pushed, the air
conditioner automatically turns on if the
outside temperature is more than slightly
above freezing. This dehumidifies the air
which helps defog the windshield. The air
recirculation indicator light automatically
turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn
into the passenger compartment to
further improve the defogging perfor-
mance. NOTE:
Clear snow and ice from the wiper
blades and air inlet in front of the
windshield. This improves heater op-
eration.
Air conditioner operation
Start the engine, turn thedial to the
desired position, and push the A/C button
to activate the air conditioner. When the
air conditioner is on, cooling and dehu-
midifying functions are added to the
heater operation. The air conditioner
cooling function operates only when the
engine is running.
Cooling:
This mode is used to cool and dehumidify
the air.
1. Push the
button. (The indicator
light will turn on.)
2. Turn the
dial to the desired
position.
3. Push the A/C button. (The indicator light will turn on.)
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired position between the
middle and the cool (left) position.
For quick cooling, turn on the MAX A/C
mode by turning the temperature control
dial until the dial pointer is at the "MAX
A/C" position. When the MAX A/C mode is turned on, it will activate the air recircula-
tion mode. The amount of air coming
through the ventilators is the highest it
can go when in MAX A/C mode regardless
of the position of the
dial.
Dehumidified heating:
This mode is used to heat and dehumidify
the air.
1. Push the
button. (The indicator
light will turn off.)
2. Push the

light will turn on.)
3. Turn the
dial to the desired

4. Push the A/C button on. (The indicator light will turn on.)
5. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired position between the
middle and the hot (right) position.
Dehumidified defogging:
This mode is used to defog the windows
and dehumidify the air.
1. Push the
button. (The indicator
light will turn on.)
2. Turn the
dial to the desired
position.
3. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired position.
When the
ormode is selected, the
air conditioner automatically turns on if
the outside temperature is more than
slightly above freezing. This dehumidifies
the air which helps defog the windshield.
The air recirculation mode automatically
turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn
into the passenger compartment to
further improve the defogging perfor-
mance.
The air conditioner is always turned on in
the
ormode, regardless of
whether the indicator light is on or off.
NOTE:
. The air conditioner system should
be operated for approximately 10
minutes at least once a month. This
helps prevent damage to the air
conditioner system due to the lack
of lubrication.
. A visible mist may be seen coming
from the ventilators in hot, humid
conditions as the air is cooled ra-
pidly. This does not indicate a mal-
function.
. If the engine coolant temperature
becomes too high, the air recircula-
tion mode will be activated and the
indicator light will turn on automa-
tically.
. If the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature over the normal range, turn the air conditioner off. (See “If your
vehicle overheats” (P.6-13).)

cabin temperatures. During this period,
the display and the buttons will be
inoperable until the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position. When the

OPERATING TIPS (for automatic air
conditioner)
When the engine coolant temperature
and outside air temperature are low, the
air flow from the foot outlets may be
limited when in the automatic mode.
However, this is not a malfunction. After
the coolant temperature warms up, air
flow from the foot outlets will operate
normally.
For rear temperature control (if so
equipped):
.The purpose of the rear temperature
control is to vary the temperature of
the rear airflow.
. The amount of airflow to the rear
ventilators is primarily controlled by
the front passenger’s blower and
mode settings.
. The amount of airflow to the rear
ventilators is also affected by the rear
temperature setting. Higher rear tem-
perature settings have lower airflow
amounts than cooler temperature
settings. This condition ensures better
comfort to the head and face area,
while primary heating for the rear
passenger seats is provided through
the foot outlets.

SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. To
avoid personal injury, any air condi-
tioner service should be done only by
an experienced technician with the
proper equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle
is charged with a refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the
earth’s ozone layer. However, it may
contribute in a small part to global
warming.
Special charging equipment and lubricant
are required when servicing your vehicle’s
air conditioner. Using improper refriger-
ants or lubricants will cause severe da-
mage to the air conditioner system. (See
“Air conditioning system refrigerant and
lubricant recommendations” (P.10-7).)
