Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 in-
ternal parts and to maintain the air conditioning in
the best operating condition.Air purifier E00708400024
An air filter has been incorporated into this air con-
ditioning so that dirt and dust are cleaned from the
air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its ability to
clean the air will be reduced as it collects pollen
and dirt. For the maintenance interval, refer to the
“SERVICE 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* E00708502175
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 key to the
“ACC” position.
For Clear Tec models, the audio system will
continue to operate if the ignition switch is in
the “ON” position when the engine stops au-
tomatically. However, in some cases, the au-
dio system may stop producing sound or turn
off.
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.

RDS uses PI (program identification) signal and AF (alternative frequency) list transmitted in addition to the normal FM broadcasting programs, and picks up the
FM stations that are transmitting the same program from the AF list and automatically tunes to the station with the strongest signal intensity.
Therefore, you can continue listening to one program in, for example, a long distance driving without retuning to the other station transmitting the same program
when you are leaving the service area of the currently receiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited reception of the program types, the break-in reception of the traffic announcement to the EON (enhanced other network)
and emergency broadcast, and the limited/unlimited reception of the regional programs.

The AF function is turned on (with the AF indica-
tor (10) shown on the display) at all times unless
you manually switch it off.

The AF function can be turned ON and OFF.

the same PI code in AF list.
If there are no frequencies broadcasting the same
programming, the radio searches a frequency broad-
casting the regional programming. The radio suc-
ceeds in searching the regional programming, then
the display shows the REG indicator (14).
If the radio does not succeed in searching the re-
gional programming, the radio returns to the recal-
led preset station.
