Air-Conditioning System
Control Switches
Temperature control dial
This dial controls temperature. Turn it clockwise for hot and anticlockwise for cold.
Fan control dial
The fan has seven speeds.
AUTO position
The amount of airflow will be automatically controlled in accordance with the set temperature.
Except AUTO position
The airflow amount can be adjusted to the desired level by turning the dial.
0 position
To turn off the system, set the dial to 0 position.
Mode selector dial
Turn the mode selector dial to select airflow mode (Search).
AUTO position
The airflow mode automatically adjusts to the selected temperature.
Except AUTO position
The desired airflow position can be selected by turning the dial.
-
With the airflow mode set to the
position and the temperature control dial set at a medium temperature, heated air is directed to the feet and air at a comparably lower temperature will flow through the central, left and right vents. -
When the fan control dial is ON, and the mode selector dial is in the
position, the air conditioner is automatically turned on and the outside air position is automatically selected to defrost the windscreen. In the position, the outside air position cannot be changed to the recirculated air position.
A/C switch
The air-conditioning (cooling/dehumidifying functions) can be turned on or off by pressing the switch while the fan control dial is at a position other than 0.
The indicator light turns on while the air-conditioning is operating.
The air conditioner may not function when the outside temperature approaches 0 °C (32 °F).
Air intake selector
Outside or recirculated air positions can be selected. Press the switch to select outside/recirculated air positions.
Recirculated air position (indicator light illuminated)
Outside air is shut off. Use this position when going through tunnels, driving in congested traffic (high engine exhaust areas) or when quick cooling is desired.
Outside air position (indicator light turned off)
Outside air is allowed to enter the cabin. Use this mode for ventilation or windscreen defrosting.
Do not use the 
position in cold or rainy weather:
Using the position in cold or rainy weather is dangerous as it will cause the windows to fog up. Your vision will be hampered, which could lead to a serious accident.
Rear window defogger switch
Press the rear window defogger switch to defrost the rear window.
Refer to Rear Window Defogger (Search).
Operation of Automatic Air-conditioning
-
Set the mode selector dial to the AUTO position.
-
Set the air intake selector to the outside air position (indicator light turned off).
If the recirculated air position is used for long periods in cold weather or high humidity, the windscreen may fog up more easily.
Close Note -
Set the fan control dial to the AUTO position.
-
Press the A/C switch to operate the air-conditioning (turn indicator light on).
-
Set the temperature control dial to the desired position.
-
To turn off the system, set the fan control dial to the 0 position.
-
Setting the temperature to maximum hot or cold will not provide the desired temperature at a faster rate.
-
When selecting heat, the system will restrict airflow until it has warmed to prevent cold air from blowing out of the vents.
Windscreen Defrosting and Defogging
Set the mode selector dial to the position and turn the fan control dial to the desired speed.
In this position, the outside air position is automatically selected, and when the fan control dial is ON, the air conditioner automatically turns on. The air conditioner will directly dehumidify the air to the front windscreen and side windows (Search). Airflow amount will be increased.
Set the temperature control to the hot or warm position when defogging ( position):
Using the position with the temperature control set to the cold position is dangerous as it will cause the outside of the windscreen to fog up. Your vision will be hampered, which could lead to a serious accident.
Use the temperature control dial to increase the air flow temperature and defog the windscreen more quickly.
