Move the function lever/knob to
"VENTILATION" and the air intake lever to
“FRESH AIR”, the temperature control
lever/knob to the desired temperature
position, and the fan switch to “OFF”. Fresh
air will flow through the vehicle when it is
moving.
Forced Ventilation
The lever/knob settings are the same as for
natural ventilation except you move the fan
switch to a position other than “OFF”.

Normal Heating (Using outside air)
Move the function lever/knob to “HEAT” and
the air intake lever to “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature control lever/knob to the desired
temperature position, and the fan switch to
the desired fan speed position. Moving the
fan switch to a higher fan speed position
increases heating efficiency.

Quick Heating (Using recirculated air)
The lever/knob settings are the same as for
normal heating except you move the air
intake lever to “RECIRCULATED AIR”. If
you use this heating method for an
extended period of time, the air in the
vehicle can become contaminated and the
windows can become misty. Therefore, use
this method only for quick heating and
change to the normal heating method as
soon as possible.
Cool Face/Warm Feet
Move the function lever/knob to “BI-LEVEL”
and the air intake lever to “FRESH AIR”,
the temperature control lever/knob to the
desired temperature position, and the fan
switch to the desired fan speed position.
Unless the temperature control lever is in
the fully “COOL” position or fully “HOT”
position, the air that comes out of the center
and side outlets will be cooler than the air
that comes out of the floor outlets.

Defrosting
Move the function lever/knob to “DEFROST”
and the air intake lever to “FRESH AIR”,
the temperature control lever/knob to the
desired temperature position, and the fan
switch to “HIGH” Moving the temperature
control lever/knob to a higher temperature
position increases defrosting efficiency.
When the windscreen has become clear,
move the fan switch to the desired fan
speed position.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
(if equipped)If your vehicle is equipped with air
conditioner, it has an A/C button located on
the heater control panel. The air conditioning
system can be used to provide cooling and
dehumidifying, as described below. To turn
on the air conditioning system, push in the
A/C button and move the fan switch to a
position other than “OFF”. An indicator light
will come on when the air conditioning
system is on. To turn off the air conditioning
system, push the A/C button again.
During operation of the air conditioner, you
may notice slight changes in engine speed.
These changes are normal, the system is
designed so that the compressor turns on
or off to maintain the desired temperature.
Less operation of the compressor results in
better fuel economy.

SYSTEM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSNormal Cooling (using outside air)
Push in the A/C button, move the function
lever/knob to "VENTILATION", the air
intake lever to “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature control lever/knob to the
“COOL” position, and the fan switch to the
desired fan speed position. Moving the fan
switch to a higher fan speed position
increases cooling efficiency.
If the ambient temperature is high enough
to cause insufficient cooling, use the "Quick
Cooling" as following.

Quick Cooling (Using recirculated air)
The lever/knob settings are the same as for
normal cooling except you move the air
intake lever to “RECIRCULATED AIR”. If
you use this cooling method for a extended
period of time, the air in the vehicle can
become contaminated. Therefore, you
should occasionally move the air intake
lever to “FRESH AIR”.NOTE: If your vehicle has been left in the sun with
the windows closed, it will cool faster if youopen the windows briefly while you operatethe air conditioner with the air intake leverat “FRESH AIR” and the fan at high speed.
Dehumidifying
Push in the A/C button, move the function
lever/knob to the desired function position,
the air intake lever to “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature control lever/knob to the desired
temperature position, and the fan switch to
the desired fan speed position.NOTE:
Because the air conditioner dehumidifies theair, turning it on will help keep the windowsclear, even when blowing heated air using
the DEMIST or HEATER & DEMISTfunctions.

(ALTO / ALTO K10) Maintenance
If you do not use the air conditioner for a
long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain op-
timum 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 oil and
helps protect the internal components.
Note:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning re-frigerant HFC-134a, commonly called “R-134a”. Only R-134a should be used in your
vehicle.
CAUTION
Using the wrong refrigerant may dam-
age your air conditioning system. Use
R-134a only. Do not mix or replace the
R-134a with other refrigerants.
