WARNING
The cooling function operates
only when the engine is running. Do not leave children or adults
who would normally require the
support of others alone in your
vehicle. Pets should not be left

temperatures in a closed vehicle
could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people
or animals.

control system when the engine is
running.
 Even when cooling is not necessary,
the air conditioner will automatically
turn on if the temperature is set much
lower than the cu rrent outlet air
temperature. Even in this case, the “A/
C” indicator light on the control panel
illuminates
 The air conditioner may not operate
in the following cases: - When the cabin temperature is
low
- When the ambient temperature
decreases close to 32°F (0°C) 
The controllable temperature range
may vary depending on the regional
specifications of the vehicle.
 If you operate any of the buttons on
the control panel other than the ON/
OFF button, rear window defogger
button, SYNC button and temperature
control dial(s) during FULL AUTO
mode operation, the “FULL” indicator
light on the control panel will turn off

When the ignition switch is changed to the
“OFF” or “ACC” position from “ON”, the air
inlet mode will automatically change to the
outside air mode regardless of whether it
is the auto mode or manual mode.
