making it appear that the oil level has not
changed.
You should also be aware that the diluting
ingredients evaporate out when the vehicle
is subsequently driven at high speeds,
such as on an expressway, making it
appear that oil is excessively consumed
after high-speed driving.

The ignition switch has the following four
positions:
LOCK
This is the normal parking position. It is the

Models with ENG A-STOP System
(if equipped)
• If the heating performance can no longerperform at a sufficient level due to auto-
matically stopping the engine, press the
ENG A-STOP OFF switch to deactivate
the ENG A-STOP system. (The engine
will automatically restart and the air con-
ditioning performanc e will be restored.)
• If the windshield and/or the driver’s side/ passenger side door windows are
fogged during automatic ally stopping the
engine, stop the ENG A-STOP system
and restart the engine. Then, turn the air
flow selector (3) to change the air flow to
the HEAT & DEFROST or DEFROST
position to defog the windows.
MaintenanceIf 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 opti-
mum 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.
If your air conditioner is equipped with air
filters, clean or replace them as specified
in “Maintenance schedule” in the
“INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” sec-
tion.
(For vehicles using “HFO-1234yf” refrig-
erant)
NOTE:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning
refrigerant HFO-1234yf, commonly called
R-1234yf. R-1234yf replaced R-134a for
automotive applications. Other refriger-
ants are available, but only R-1234yf
should be used in your vehicle.
NOTICE
Using the wrong refrigerant may
damage your air conditioning sys-
tem. Use R-1234yf only. Do not mix or
replace the R-1234yf with other refrig-
erants.
(Except for vehicles using “HFO-1234yf”
refrigerant)
NOTE:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning
refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly called
R-134a. R-134a replaced R-12 around
1993 for automotive applications. Other
refrigerants are available, including recy-
cled R-12, but only R-134a should be used
in your vehicle.
NOTICE
Using the wrong refrigerant may
damage your air conditioning sys-
tem. Use R-134a only. Do not mix or
replace the R-134a with other refrig-
erants.
