To prevent dust or unpleasant fumes
from entering the vehicle through the
ventilation system, temporarily set the
air intake control to the recirculated air
position. Be sure to return the control
to the fresh air position when the irrita-
tion has passed to keep fresh air in the
vehicle. This will help keep the driver
alert and comfortable.
Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn in through the grilles just ahead
of the windshield. Care should be
taken that these are not blocked by
leaves, snow, ice or other obstructions.
To prevent interior fog on the wind- shield, set the air intake control to the
fresh air position and fan speed to the
desired position, turn on the air condi-
tioning system, and adjust the temper-
ature control to desired temperature.

with environmentally friendly
R-134a refrigerant.
1. Start the engine. Push the air condi- tioning button.
2. Set the mode to the position.
3. Set the air intake control to the recir- culated air position. However, pro-
longed operation of the reticulated air
position will excessively dry the air. In
this case, change the air position.
4. Adjust the fan speed control and tem- perature control to maintain maximum
comfort.
When maximum cooling is desired, set the temperature control to the extreme
left position, set the mode control to
the MAX A/C position, then set the fan
speed control to the highest speed.

Air conditioning system operation tips
If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows for a short time to let the hot
air inside the vehicle escape.
To help reduce moisture inside of the windows on rainy or humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the vehi-
cle by operating the air conditioning
system.
During air conditioning system opera- tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.
When using the air conditioning sys- tem, you may notice clear water drip-
ping (or even puddling) on the ground
under the passenger side of the vehi-
cle. This is a normal system operation
characteristic. Operating the air conditioning system
in the recirculated air position provides
maximum cooling, however, continual
operation in this mode may cause the
air inside the vehicle to become stale.
During cooling operation, you may occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and humid air
intake. This is a normal system opera-
tion characteristic.CAUTION - Excessive AC
While using the air conditioningsystem, monitor the temperaturegauge closely while driving up hillsor in heavy traffic when outsidetemperatures are high. Air condi- tioning system operation maycause engine overheating andpotential engine damage. Continueto use the blower fan but turn theair conditioning system off if thetemperature gauge indicatesengine overheating.

Features of your vehicle
Power outlet (if equipped)
The power outlet is designed to provide
power for mobile telephones or other
devices designed to operate with vehicle
electrical systems. The devices should
draw less than 10 amps with the engine
running.
Use the power outlet only when the
engine is running and remove the acces-
sory plug after use. Using the accessory
plug for prolonged periods of time with
the engine off could cause the battery to
discharge.
Only use 12V electric accessories which
are less than 10A in electric capacity.
Adjust the air-conditioner or heater to the
lowest operating level when using the
power outlet.Close the cover when not in use.
Some electronic devices can cause elec-
tronic interference when plugged into a
vehicle’s power outlet. These devices
may cause excessive audio static and
malfunctions in other electronic systems
or devices used in your vehicle.
Shopping bag holder
Do not hang a bag weighing more than
3 kg (7 lbs.). It may cause damage to
the shopping bag holder.
Do not hang the frail objects when you drive rough road, the objects may be
damaged.

Aux, USB and iPod®*
(if equipped)
If your vehicle has an AUX and/or USB
(universal serial bus) port or iPod®port,
you can use an AUX port to connect
audio devices and an USB port to plug in
an USB and also an iPod
®port to plug in
an iPod®.
When using a portable audio device con-
nected to the power outlet, noise may
occur during playback. If this happens,
use the power source of the portable
audio device.
How vehicle audio works
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the
radio antenna on your vehicle. This signal
is then received by the radio and sent to
your vehicle speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best pos-
sible quality reproduction. However, in
some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear. This
can be due to factors, such as the dis-
tance from the radio station, closeness of
other strong radio stations or the pres-
ence of buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area. AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequencies. These
long, low frequency radio waves can fol-
low the curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight out into the atmos-
phere. In addition, they curve around
obstructions so that they can provide bet-
ter signal coverage.

USING YOUR USB DEVICE
When using an external USB
device, make sure the device is
not connected when starting up
the vehicle.
If you start the engine when the USB device is connected, it may
damage the USB device. (USB
flashdrives are very sensitive to
electric shock.) Connect the
device after starting up.
If you start the engine when the USB device is connected, it may
damage the USB device.
The System may not play inau- thentic MP3 or WMA files.
1) It can only play MP3 files with the compression rate between
8Kbps~320Kbps.
2) It can only play WMA music files with the compression rate
between 8Kbps~320Kbps.
Take precautions for static elec- tricity when connecting or dis-
connecting the external USB
device. An encrypted MP3 PLAYER is
not recognizable.
Depending on the condition of the external USB device, the
connected external USB device
can be unrecognizable.
When the formatted byte/sector setting of External USB device is
not either 512BYTE or
2048BYTE, then the device will
not be recognized.
Use only a USB device format- ted to FAT 12/16/32.
USB devices without USB I/F authentication may not be recog-
nizable.
If you repeatedly connect or dis- connect the USB device in a
short period of time, it may break
the device.
You may hear a strange noise when connecting or disconnect-
ing a USB device.
If you disconnect the external USB device during playback in
USB mode, the external USB
device can be damaged or may
malfunction. Therefore, disconnect the exter-
nal USB device when the audio
is turned off or in another mode.
(e.g, Radio, SIRIUS or CD)
Depending on the type and capacity of the external USB
device or the type of the files
stored in the device, there is a
difference in the time taken for
recognition of the device.
Do not use the USB device for purposes other than playing
music files.
Playing videos through the USB is not supported.
If you use devices such as a USB hub purchased separately,
the vehicle’s audio system may
not recognize the USB device. In
that case, connect the USB
device directly to the multimedia
terminal of the vehicle.
If the USB device is divided by logical drives, only the music
files on the highest-priority drive
are recognized by car audio.
