of the multi-information display.
The  system  is  automatically  enabled  each  time  the  engine  switch  is
turned  to  the  “ON”  position  (vehicles  without  a  smart  key  syste m)  or
IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system).
If  the  system  is  disabled,  the

■After unlocking the rear differential
Vehicles without a smart key system
To  check that  the indicator goes  off, turn the engine  switch  to the “ON” posi-
tion, but do not start the engine.

WARNING
■ To avoid an accident
● Do  not  use  the  rear  differential  lock  system  except  when  wheel  spinning
occurs  in  a  ditch  or  on  a  slippery  or  ragged  surface.  Large  steering  effort
and careful cornering control will be required.
● Do not lock the rear differential until the wheels have stopped  spinning.
Otherwise, the vehicle may move in an unexpected direction when the dif-
ferential  lock  is  engaged,  resulting  in  an  accident.  This  may  also  lead  to
possible damage to differential lock component parts.
● Do not drive over 5 mph (8 km/h) when the differential is locke d.
● Do not keep driving with the rear differential lock switch on.

3425-1. Using the air conditioning system
■Fogging up of the windows
●The  windows  will  easily  fog  up  when  the  humidity  in  the  vehicle   is  high.
Turning   on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog  the wind-
shield effectively. 
● If you turn   off, the windows may fog up more easily.
● The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
■ When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehi-
cle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air i ntake mode be
set to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.
■ Outside/recirculated air mode
Setting  to  the  recirculated  air  mode  temporarily  is  recommended   in  prevent-
ing  dirty  air  from  entering  the  vehicle  interior  and  helping  to cool the vehicle
when the outside air temperature is high.
■ When the outside temperature exceeds 75 F (24 C) and air conditioning
system is on
● In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the  air condition-
ing system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This may also
reduce fuel consumption.
● Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the en gine switch
is  in  the  “ON”  position  (vehicles  without  a  smart  key  system)  o r  IGNITION
ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system).
● It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pre ssing  .
■ When the outside tempera ture falls to nearly 32F (0 C)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when   is pre ssed.
■ Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the out side air mode.
● During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle m ay enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then ca use odor to
be emitted from the vents.
● To reduce potential odors from occurring: 
It  is  recommended  that  the  air  conditioning  system  be  set  to  ou tside  air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
