  • 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.

Close Note

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).

Close Note

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.

Operation of Automatic Air-conditioning

  1. Set the mode selector dial to the AUTO position.

  3. Set the fan control dial to the AUTO position.

  4. Press the A/C switch to operate the air-conditioning (turn indicator light on).

  5. Set the temperature control dial to the desired position.

  6. 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.

Close Warning

 


Use the temperature control dial to increase the air flow temperature and defog the windscreen more quickly.
