HOW TO USE THE TOUCH-SCREEN
CAUTION
• The glass display screen may break if
it is hit with a hard or sharp object. If
the glass screen breaks, do not touch
it. Doing so could result in an injury.
• To clean the display, never use a
rough cloth, alcohol, benzine, thinner
or any kind of solvent or paper towel
with a chemical cleaning agent. They
will scratch or deteriorate the panel.
• Do not splash any liquid such as wa-
ter or car fragrance on the display.
Contact with liquid will cause the sys-
tem to malfunction. To help ensure safe driving, some functions
cannot be operated while driving.
The on-screen functions that are not avail-
able while driving will be “grayed out” or
muted.
WARNING
• ALWAYS give your full attention to
driving.
• Avoid using vehicle features that
could distract you. If distracted, you
could lose control of your vehicle and
cause an accident.

WARNING
• The air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
• Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be lef t alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
• Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.
NOTE:
• Odors from inside and outside the ve- hicle can build up in the air conditioner
unit. Odor can enter the passenger
compartment through the vents.
• When parking, set the heater and air conditioner controls to turn off air re-
circulation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.LHA4783

helps defog the windshield. The
mode automatically turns off, allowing
outside air to be drawn into the passen-
ger compartment to further improve the
defogging performance. The recircula-
tion mode cannot be activated in the

mode automatically turns off, allowing
outside air to be drawn into the passen-
ger compartment to further improve the
defogging performance.

Operating tips
• Keep the windows closed while the airconditioner is in operation. • Af ter parking in the sun, drive for 2 or 3
minutes with the windows open to vent
hot air from the passenger compart-
ment. Then, close the windows. This al-
lows the air conditioner to cool the inte-
rior more quickly.
• The air conditioning system should be operated for approximately 10 minutes at
least once a month. This helps prevent
damage to the system due to lack of lu-
brication.
• A visible mist may be seen coming from the ventilators in hot, humid conditions
as the air is cooled rapidly. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
• If the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates engine coolant temperature
over the normal range, turn the air condi-
tioner off. For additional information, refer
to “If your vehicle overheats” in the “In case
of emergency” section of this manual.
• When Remote Engine Start (if so equipped) is activated, the manual cli-
mate control system will default to the
last used heating or cooling mode.
