Blower speed selection dial
E00705300019
The blower has
3 different speeds. Select the best
speed to fit your needs. Temperature control dial
E00705500066
Select the desired temperature level by turning
clockwise or anticlockwise. NOTE
l The
rear air
conditioning will not operate un-
less the front air conditioning compressor is
operating.
Always switch the front air conditioning com-
pressor on before using the rear air condition-
ing. If the front air conditioning compressor
is not operating, the system will just operate
as a blower. Important operation tips for the
air conditioning E00708300889
l Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking
in
the
hot sun will make the vehicle
inside extremely hot, and it will require 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 con-
ditioning operation to expel the hot air.
l Close the windows when the air conditioning
is in use. The entry of outside air through
open windows will reduce the cooling effi-
ciency.
l Too much cooling is not good for the health.
The inside air temperature should only be 5
to 6 °C below the outside air temperature.
l When operating the system, make sure the
air intake, which is located in front of the
windscreen, is free of obstructions such as
leaves and snow. Leaves collected in the air-
intake plenum may reduce air flow and plug
the plenum water drains.
Air conditioning system refrigerant
and lubricant recommendations
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usu-
al, the cause might be a refrigerant leak. We recom-
mend you to have the system inspected.
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must
be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a and the
lubricant ND-OIL8.
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause
severe damage which will result in the need to re-
place your vehicle’s entire air conditioning system.
The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere
should be prevented. For pleasant driving
5-11 5

OBKE12E1

The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your
vehicle will
not harm the ozone layer.
It is recommended that the refrigerant be recovered
and recycled for further use.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioning should be operated for at least
five minutes each week, even in cold weather. This
is to prevent the compressor from seizing and to
maintain the air conditioning in the best operating
condition. Air purifier
(with deodorizing function) E00708400183
An air filter
is incorporated into the air condition-
ing system to remove pollen, dust, tobacco smells
and exhaust smells.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dirt is re-
duced as it becomes dirty, so replace it periodical-
ly. For the maintenance interval, refer to the “SERV-
ICE BOOKLET”.
NOTE
l Operation in certain conditions such as driv-
ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the
air conditioning can lead to reduction of serv-
ice life of the filter. When the air flow rate
suddenly drops or when the windscreen or
windows start to fog up easily, the air filter
requires replacement. We recommend you to
have it checked. LW/MW/FM electronic tuning
radio with CD player* E00708501934
The audio system
can be used when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.
NOTE
l To listen to the audio system while the en-
gine is stopped, turn the ignition switch to
the “ACC” position.
l If a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle,
it may create noise from the audio equip-
ment. This does not mean that anything is
wrong with your audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a place as far
away as possible from the audio equipment.
l If foreign objects or water get into the audio
equipment, or if smoke or a strange odour
comes from it, immediately turn off the au-
dio system. We recommend you to have it
checked. Never try to repair it by yourself.
Avoid continuous usage without inspection
by a qualified person. For pleasant driving
