prevent demisting.
IMPORTANT OPERATION
TIPS FOR THE AIR
CONDITIONING
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 conditioning operation to expel the
hot air.
Close the windows when the air
conditioning is in use. The entry of
outside air through open windows will
reduce the cooling efficiency.
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.
When operating the system, make
sure the air intake, which is located infront 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
recommendations
If the air conditioning seems less
effective than usual, the cause might be
a refrigerant leak. We recommend you
to have the system inspected.
The air conditioning system in your
vehicle must be charged with the
refrigerant HFC-134a (R134a).
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant
will cause severe damage which will
result in the need to replace your
vehicle’s entire air conditioning system.
The release of refrigerant into the
atmosphere should be prevented.
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
poor lubrication of the compressor
internal parts and to maintain the air
conditioning in the best operating
condition.
