NOTE:
Because the air conditioner dehumidifies
the air, turning it on will help keep the win-
dows clear, even when blowing heated air
using the “DEFROST” or “HEAT &
DEFROST” functions.

NOTE:
If you need maximum defrosting:
• Set the air flow selector to “DEFROST”
and “FRESH AIR”.
• Set the blower speed selector to HIGH.
• Adjust the temperature selector to the
HOT end.
• Turn on the “A/C” switch.
• 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 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.
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.
Radio Antenna
70K093
The radio antenna can be pulled in or
pulled out.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the radio
antenna, pull in the antenna in below
cases.
• Using an automatic car wash.
• The antenna hits anything such as
a low ceiling in a parking garage.
• Putting a car cover over your car.
