Inspect the lower surface of the filter. If it is just moderately
dusty, it may be cleaned by blowing compressed air from the
lower surface. Do not wash or oil the filter.
If it is dirty, it should be replaced. To maintain the air
conditioning efficiency, replace the air filter according to the
maintenance schedule.
NOTICE
Do not drive with the air filter removed, or the efficiency
of air conditioning may be lost.
(d) Operating tips
Make sure the air inlet grilles in front of the windshield are
not blocked by leaves or other obstructions.
If air flow control is not satisfactory, check the dashboard
vents. (See “Center vents”, “Side vents”, “Lower vent” and
“Rear vents”.)
To help cool down the interior after parking in the hot sun,
drive for the first few minutes with the windows open. After
the excess heat has blown away, close the windows.
When driving on dusty roads, close all windows. If dust
thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after
closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake
control button be left to the OUTSIDE AIR mode and the fan
speed control button be pressed to anywhere except the
“OFF” button.
If following another vehicle on a dusty road, or driving in
windy and dusty conditions, it is recommended that the air
intake control button be temporarily pressed in to the
RECIRCULATED AIR mode, which will close off the outside
passage and prevent outside air and dust from entering the
vehicle interior.

determined by the mix of the treble, mid−range, and bass

usually sound better with different mixes of treble, mid−range,
and bass.
A good balance of the left and right stereo channels and of the
front and rear sound levels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to a stereo recording or
broadcast, changing the right / left balance will increase the
volume of one group of sounds while deceasing the volume of
another.“BASS” knob: Use this knob to adjust low−pitched tones.
