Quick Cooling (Using recirculated air)
The lever/knob settings are the same as for
normal cooling except you move the air
intake lever to “RECIRCULATED AIR”. If
you use this cooling method for a extended
period of time, the air in the vehicle can
become contaminated. Therefore, you
should occasionally move the air intake
lever to “FRESH AIR”.NOTE: If your vehicle has been left in the sun with
the windows closed, it will cool faster if youopen the windows briefly while you operatethe air conditioner with the air intake leverat “FRESH AIR” and the fan at high speed.
Dehumidifying
Push in the A/C button, move the function
lever/knob to the desired function position,
the air intake lever to “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature control lever/knob to the desired
temperature position, and the fan switch to
the desired fan speed position.NOTE:
Because the air conditioner dehumidifies theair, turning it on will help keep the windowsclear, even when blowing heated air using
the DEMIST or HEATER & DEMISTfunctions.

(ALTO / ALTO K10) Maintenance
If you do not use the air conditioner for a
long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain op-
timum performance and durability of your air
conditioner, it needs to be run periodically.
Operate the air conditioner at least once a
month for one minute with the engine idling.
This circulates the refrigerant and oil and
helps protect the internal components.
Note:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning re-frigerant HFC-134a, commonly called “R-134a”. Only R-134a should be used in your
vehicle.
CAUTION
Using the wrong refrigerant may dam-
age your air conditioning system. Use
R-134a only. Do not mix or replace the
R-134a with other refrigerants.
