For pleasant driving
CAUTION
l
Normally, use the outside position to keep
the windscreen and side windows clear
and quickly remove fog or frost from the
windscreen.
If high cooling performance is desired, or
if the outside air is dusty or otherwise con-
taminated use the recirculation position.
Switch to the outside position periodically
to increase ventilation so that the win-
dows do not become fogged up.
l Use of the recirculation position for exten-
ded time may cause the windows to fog up.
NOTE
l If you press the AUTO switch to select auto-
matic control after manually switching be-
tween outside air and recirculated air, the air
selection will also be automatically controlled.

AUTO switch

When the AUTO switch is pressed, the operation in-
dication lamp (A) illuminates and the mode selec-
tion (except for " "), blower speed adjustment,
recirculated/outside air selection, temperature ad-
justment and air conditioner ON/OFF status are all

Air conditioning switch
E00703500886
Push the switch to turn the air conditioning on, indi-
cation lamp (A) will come on.
Push the switch again to switch it off.
CAUTION
l When using the air conditioning, the
idling speed may slightly increase as the
air conditioning compressor is switched
on/off automatically. While the vehicle
with an A/T is stationary, fully depress
the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle
from creeping.
NOTE
l
If a problem is detected in the air condition-
ing compressor, the air conditioning opera-
tion indication lamp (A) blinks. Stop the ve-
hicle in a safe place, turn off the engine, then
restart the engine. If the air conditioning op-
eration indication lamp does not blink, there
is no problem. If it does blink, we recom-
mend you to have it checked.
l Sometimes, for example after using a high-
pressure car wash, the condenser can get wet,
and the operation indication lamp (A) blinks
temporarily. In this case there is nothing
wrong. Stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn
off the engine, then restart the engine. Once
the water evaporates, the blinking will stop.
