tioning, when the mode selection dial or the
blower speed selection dial is set to the “AUTO” position again after manual opera-tion, the air selection dial will also be auto-
matically controlled.
z On vehicles with the automatic air condi-
tioning, when the engine coolant tempera-
ture rises to a certain level, the air selection is automatically switched to the recirculation
position and the indication lamp (A) comes on. At this time, the system will not switch
to the outside position even if the air selec-
tion switch is pushed.Customizing the air selection
Functions can be changed as desired, as sta-
ted below.

CAUT,ONz If the outside air is dusty or otherwise conta-
minated, or if high cooling performance is
desired, set air selection switch to the recir-
culation position and the temperature control dial all the way to the left.
Switch to the outside position periodically to increase ventilation so that the windows donot become fogged up.NOTEz When the air conditioning operates with the
selection switch in the outside position, the
system automatically determines whether to continue using outside air or to perform re-
circulation. If the outside air temperature is high, the system selects recirculation to ach- ieve rapid cooling and causes the indication
lamp in the switch to illuminate. Press the
selection switch to return to outside air intro- duction.Combination of unheated air
and heated air (Heater/Manual air conditioning)
Select the mode selection dial to the position shown in the illustration and set the air selec- tion switch (A) to the outside position.
The air flow will be directed to the leg area

NOTEzWhen the mode selection dial is in the “”
position, the system operates automatically
and outside air is set automatically.
z To demist effectively, direct the air flow
from the side ventilators towards the door
windows.
z On vehicles with air conditioning, do not set
the temperature control dial to the max. cool position. Cool air will blow against the win-
dow glasses and prevent demisting.
z For vehicles with the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system, if the mode selection dial is
set to the demister position shown in the il- lustration, the AS&G system will not oper- ate and the engine will not stop automatical-ly even if the vehicle is stopped. This is to
ensure that good visibility is maintained.Introduction of outside air
(Heater/Manual air condition- ing)
To introduce air into the vehicle during hot weather, set the air selection switch (A) to theoutside position and set the temperature con-
trol dial to the positions shown in the illustra- tion. Be sure to set the temperature control dial all the way to the left. Select the desiredblower speed.
NOTEz Turn the mode selection dial clockwise and
air will flow to the leg area and the wind-
screen.Important operation tips for
the air conditioning
z Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the ve-
hicle inside extremely hot, and it will re-
quire more time to cool the interior.
If it is necessary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minutes of
air conditioning operation to expel the
hot air.
z Close the windows when the air condi-
tioning is in use. The entry of outside air
through open windows will reduce the cooling efficiency.
z Too much cooling is not good for the
health. Keep the difference between the
vehicle interior temperature and outside temperature at 5 to 6
