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.

Handling of compact discsE00723000207
l Use only the type of compact discs that have
the mark shown in the illustration below.
(Playback of CD-R or CD-RW discs may
cause problems.)l The use of special shaped, damaged compact
discs (like cracked discs) or low-quality com-
pact discs (like warped discs or burrs on the
discs) such as those shown will damage the
CD player.
l In the following circumstances, moisture can
form on discs and inside the audio system,
preventing normal operation. •When there is high humidity (for exam-
ple, when it is raining).
• When the temperature suddenly rises,
such as right after the heater is turned on
in cold weather.

In this case, wait until the moisture has
had time to dry out.
l When the CD player is subjected to violent vi-
brations, such as during off-road driving, the
tracking may not work.
l When storing compact discs, always store
them in their separate cases. Never place com-
pact discs in direct sunlight, or in any place
where the temperature or humidity is high.
l Never touch the flat surface of the disc
where there isn’t a label. This will damage
the disc surface and could affect the sound
quality. When handling a compact disc, al-
ways hold it by the outer edge and the centre
hole.
l To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth.
Wipe directly from the centre hole towards
the outer edge. Do not wipe in a circle. Nev-
er use any chemicals such as benzine, paint
thinner, a disc spray cleaner, or an anti-static
agent on the disc.
For pleasant driving

lDo not use a ball point pen, felt pen, pencil,
etc. to write on the label surface of the disc.
l Do not put additional labels (A) or stickers
(B) on compact discs. Also, do not use any
compact disc on which a label or sticker has
started to peel off or any compact disc that
has stickiness or other contamination left by
a peeled-off label or sticker. If you use such
a compact disc, the CD player may stop work-
ing properly and you may not be able to eject
the compact disc.Notes on CD-Rs/RWs E00725100026
lYou may have trouble playing back some
CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD recorders
(CD-R/RW drives), either due to their record-
ing characteristics or dirt, fingerprints,
scratches, etc. on the disc surface.
l CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high tem-
peratures and high humidity than ordinary mu-
sic CDs. Leaving them inside a vehicle for ex-
tended periods may damage them and make
playback impossible.
l The unit may not successfully play back a
CD-R/RW that was made by the combina-
tion of writing software, a CD recorder
(CD-R/RW drive) and a disc if they are in-
compatible with one another.
l This player cannot play the
CD-R/RW discs
if the session is not closed.
l This player cannot play
CD-R/RW discs
which contain other than CD-DA or MP3 da-
ta (Video CD, etc.).
l Be sure to observe the handling instructions
for the CD-R/RW disc.WARNINGl Operating the CD player in a manner oth-
er than specifically instructed herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Do not remove the cover and attempt to
repair the CD player by yourself. There
are no user serviceable parts inside. In
case of malfunction, we recommend you
to have it checked.Antenna E00710500396
Roof antenna
To remove the roof antenna, unscrew it by turning
it anticlockwise.
NOTE
l Be sure to remove the roof antenna in the fol-
lowing cases: •When entering a place with low clearance.
• When going into an automatic car wash.
• When placing a car cover over the vehicle.
