9-4 Heating and air conditioning
CAUTION
To protect the environment, your vehicle’s air
conditioning system uses refrigerant HFC-134a
which does not harm the ozone layer.
Since charging the system with this refrigerant
requires a method different from the conven-
tional method, be sure to contact your nearest
authorized dealer if your system needs to be
serviced.
NOTE:
• The heater uses heat produced by the engine
coolant. Warm air is, therefore, not available
until the coolant temperature becomes suffi-
ciently high.
• When you perform the parked DPF regenera-
tion, the engine compartment temperature will
rise, probably causing the air conditioning sys-
tem to stop. You may then feel reduced air con-
ditioning performance, but this does not indicate
any abnormality. The air conditioning system will
automatically restart functioning normally as
soon as the engine compartment temperature
drops to a normal temperature following the ter-
mination of the DPF regeneration.
• In some vehicles, a fast idling device increases
the engine’s idling speed slightly when the air
conditioner is used.
• Do not release refrigerant into the atmosphere.
When necessary because of servicing or scrap-
ping of the vehicle, consult the nearest autho-
rized dealer in order to have the refrigerant
properly removed.
Manual air conditioner
WARNING
Never leave children alone in the cab espe-
cially when the air-conditioning is on. They
will suffer from dangerously high interior
temperatures should the air conditioning
accidentally stop.
