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 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 “INSPEC-
TION AND MAINTENANCE” section.
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.
