l
For vehicles with the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system, if the mode selection dial is
set to the demister position shown in the illus-
tration, the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system
will not operate and the engine will not stop
automatically even if the vehicle is stopped.
This is to ensure that good visibility is main-
tained.
Introduction of outside air (Heater/Manual air
conditioning) E00702200408
To introduce air into the vehicle during hot weath-
er, set the air selection switch (A) to the outside po-
sition and set the temperature control dial to the po-
sitions

shown in the illustration. Be sure to set the
temperature control dial all the way to the left. Se-
lect the desired blower speed. NOTE
l Turn

the mode selection dial clockwise and
air will flow to the leg area and the windscreen. Important operation tips for the
air conditioning E00708300762
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 win-
dows will reduce the cooling efficiency.
l Too much cooling is not good for the health.
Keep the difference between the vehicle inte-
rior temperature and outside temperature to 5
to 6 °C.
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 SUN-PAG56.
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 is
not recommended. The new refrigerant HFC-134a
in your vehicle will
not harm the ozone layer.
We recommend you to recover and recycle the re-
frigerant for reuse.
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. For pleasant driving
