NOTE
l
When the mode selection dial is in the “ ”
position, the system operates automatically
and outside air is set automatically.
l
To demist effectively, direct the air flow
from the side ventilators towards the door
windows.
l
On vehicles with air conditioning, do not set
the temperature control dial to the max. cool
position. Cool air will blow against the win-
dow glasses and prevent demisting.
l
For vehicles with the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system, if the mode selection dial is
set to the demister position shown in the il-
lustration, the AS&G system will not oper-
ate and the engine will not stop automatical-
ly even if the vehicle is stopped. This is to
ensure that good visibility is maintained.
Introduction of outside air
(Heater/Manual air condition-
ing)
To introduce air into the vehicle during hot
weather, set the air selection switch (A) to the
outside position and set the temperature con-
trol dial to the positions shown in the illustra-
tion. Be sure to set the temperature control
dial all the way to the left. Select the desired
blower speed.
NOTE
l
Turn the mode selection dial clockwise and
air will flow to the leg area and the wind-
screen.
Important operation tips for
the air conditioning
l
Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the ve-
hicle inside extremely hot, and it will re-
quire 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 conditioning operation to expel the
hot air.
l
Close the windows when the air condi-
tioning is in use. The entry of outside air
through open windows will reduce the
cooling efficiency.
l
Too much cooling is not good for the
health. Keep the difference between the
vehicle interior temperature and outside
temperature at 5 to 6 °C.
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 collec-
ted in the air-intake plenum may reduce
air flow and plug the plenum water
drains.
