NOTE
❒ To find the temperature at which you
are most comfortable, start with the
22°C (72°F) setting.
❒ If you turn the temperature selector
(1) until “HI” or “LO” appears on the
display, the climate control system will
operate at the maximum cooling or
heating and the blower will run at full
speed.
❒ To avoid blowing cold air in cold
weather or hot air in hot weather, the
system will delay turning on the blow-
er until warmed or chilled air is avail-
able.
❒ If your vehicle has been left in the sun
with the windows closed, it will cool
faster if you open the windows briefly.
❒ Even under the automatic operation,
you can set individual selectors to the
manual mode. The manually selected
functions are maintained, and the oth-
er functions remain under automatic
operation.
❒ To return the blower speed selector
(2), air intake selector (3), and air flow
selector (4) to automatic operation,
push the “AUTO” switch (8).
Be careful not to cover the interior tem-
perature sensor (10) located between the
steering wheel and the climate control
panel, or the solar sensor (11) located at
the top of the driver’s side dashboard.
These sensors are used by the automatic
system to regulate temperature.
Manual operation
You can manually control the climate con-
trol system. Set the selectors to the de-
sired positions.
NOTE
If you need maximum defrosting:
❒ push the defrost switch (5) to turn on
the defroster (the air conditioning sys-
tem will come on and the “FRESH
AIR” mode will be selected automat-
ically),
❒ set the blower speed selector to
HIGH,
❒ adjust the temperature selector to the
“HI” indication on the display,
❒ adjust the side outlets so the air blows
on the side windows.
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 peri-
odically. Operate the air conditioner at
least once a month for one minute with
the engine idling. This circulates the re-
frigerant and oil and helps protect the in-
ternal components.
