have a clear
view through all the windows. To remove frost or mist from the windscreen and
door
windows, use
the mode

selection dial (“ ”
or “ ”).
For ordinary demisting
Use this setting to keep

the windscreen and door
windows clear of mist, and to keep the leg area heat-
ed (when driving in rain or snow). 1. Set the air selection switch (A) to the outside
position.
2. Set the mode selection

Important operation tips for the
air conditioning E00708300951
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 windows will reduce the cooling effi-
ciency.
l Too much cooling is not good for the health.
The inside air temperature should only be 5
to 6 °C below the outside air temperature.
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 ZXL-100PG.
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
should be prevented. 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*
E00708400675
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 you feel that the
air flow is lower than normal or when the
windscreen or windows start to fog up easily,
replace the air filter.
We recommend you to have it checked. For pleasant driving

B- Audio system
NOTE l To listen to the audio system while the engine is stopped, turn the ignition key to the “ACC” position.
l If
a cellular phone is
used inside the vehicle, it may create noise from the audio equipment. 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 audio system. We recom-
mend your to have it checked. Never try to repair it by yourself. Avoid continuous usage without inspection by a qualified person.
l The audio system’s control knob can be removed to deter thieves. For details, refer to
“Audio system anti-theft feature” on page 5-48.
l The audio amplifier (if so equipped) is located under the front right seat.
Do not subject the amplifier to a strong impact.
It could damage the amplifier or malfunctioning could result. For pleasant driving
