For quick demisting

1. Push the demister switch (A) to change to the “ ” posi-
tion.
2. Set the blower to the maximum speed. 3. Set the temperature to the highest position.NOTE●
When the demister switch is
pressed, the air conditioning

To demist effectively, direct
the air flow from the side
ventilators towards the door windows.

Ty p e B Select the desired temperature level by turning clockwise or anticlockwise.NOTE●
If your vehicle is equipped with rear air conditioning, the rear air conditioning will no
t operate unless the front air
conditioning compressor is operating. Always switch the front air conditioning compressor onbefore using the rear air condi
tioning. If th
e front air con-
ditioning compressor is not operating, the system will just operate as a blower.
Important operation tips for the air
conditioning
E00708300746
●
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 theinterior. If it is necessary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minutes of air conditioning operation to expelthe hot air.
●
Close the windows when the air conditioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows willreduce 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 outsideair temperature.
●
When operating the system,
make sure the air intake,
which is located in front of the windscreen, is free ofobstructions such as leaves
as snow. Leaves collected in
the air-intake plenum may reduce air flow and plug the plenum water drains.

Air conditioning system
refrigerant and lubri-
cant recommendationsIf 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
and the lubricant ND-OIL8.
Use of any other refrigerant or
lubricant will cause severe dam-
age which will result in the n
eed to replace 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. It is recommended that the refr
igerant be recovered and recy-
cled for further use.During a long period of disuseThe air conditioning should be operated for at least five min- utes each week, even in cold weather. This is to prevent the compressor from seizing and to maintain the air conditioningin the best operating condition.
Air purifier (with deodorizing function)
E00708400183
An air filter is incorporated in
to the air conditioning system to
remove pollen, dust, tobacco
smells and exhaust smells.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dirt is reduced as itbecomes dirty, so replace it pe
riodically. For the maintenance
interval, refer to th
e “SERVICE BOOKLET”.
NOTE●
Operation in certain conditions such as driving on a dusty road and frequent use of th
e air conditioning can lead to
reduction of service life of
the filter. When the air flow
rate suddenly drops or when the windscreen or windowsstart to fog up easily, the ai
r filter requires replacement.
We recommend you to have it checked.

Chrome parts
E00901400115
In order to prevent spots and corrosion of chrome parts, wash with water, dry thoroughly, and apply a special protective coat- ing. This should be done more frequently in winter.Aluminium wheels
E00901500363
1. Remove dirt using a sponge while sprinkling water on the
wheel.
2. Use neutral detergent on any dirt that cannot be removed
easily with water.Rinse off the neutral detergent after washing the wheel.
3. Dry the wheel thoroughly using a chamois leather or a soft
cloth.
Window glass
E00901600032
The window glass can normally be cleaned using only asponge and water. Glass cleaner can be used to re
move oil, grease, dead insects,
etc. After washing the glass, wipe dry with a clean, dry, softcloth. Never use the same cloth to wipe the window glass as would be used to wipe the paintwork; wax from the painted surfaces could adhere to the glass and reduce its transparencyand visibility.NOTE●
To clean the inside of the backdoor window, always use a soft cloth and wipe the wind
ow glass along the demister
heater element so as not to cause damage.
Wiper blades
E00901700059
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to remove grease, deadinsects, etc., from the wiper
blades. Replace the wiper blades
when they no longer wipe properly. (Refer to page 8-25.)
CAUTION
!●
Do not use a brush or other hard implement on the wheels.Doing so could scratch the wheels.
●
Do not use any cleaner th
at contains an abrasive
substance or is acidic or alkaline. Doing so couldcause the coating on the
wheels to peel or become
discoloured or stained.
●
Do not directly apply
hot water using a steam
cleaner or by any other means.
●
Contact with seawater and road deicer can cause corrosion. Rinse off such su
bstances as soon as pos-
sible.

If there is anything wrong, we recommend you to have yourvehicle inspected.Hinges and latches lubricationCheck all latches and hinges, and, if necessary, have them lubricated.
For cold and snowy weather
E01002800299
Ventilation slotsThe ventilation slots in front of the windscreen should be keptclear of leaves or brushed clear
after heavy snowfall, so that the
operation of the heating and ventilation systems will not beimpaired.WeatherstrippingTo prevent freezing of the weat
herstripping on th

Additional equipmentIt is a good idea to carry a shov

the vehicle during the winter so
that you can clear away snow
if you get stranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping snow off the vehicle and a plastic scrape
r for the windscreen and rear
