Introduction of outside air

ing)
To introduce air into the vehicle during hot
weather, set the air selection switch (A) to the
outside position and set the temperature con-
trol dial to the positions shown in the illustra-
tion. Be sure to set the temperature control
dial all the way to the left. Select the desired
blower speed.

air will flow to the leg area and the wind-

Important operation tips for
the air conditioning

l Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the ve-
hicle inside extremely hot, and it will re-
quire more time to cool the interior.
If it is necessary to park in the sun, open
the windows for the first few minutes of
air conditioning operation to expel the
hot air.
l Close the windows when the air condi-
tioning is in use.
The entry of outside air through open
windows will reduce the cooling effi-
ciency.
l Too much cooling is not good for the
health. Keep the difference between the
vehicle interior temperature and outside
temperature to 5 to 6 °C.
l When operating the system, make sure
the air intake, which is located in front
of the windscreen, is free of obstructions
such as leaves and snow. Leaves collec-
ted in the air-intake plenum may reduce
air flow and plug the plenum water
drains.

Important operation tips for the air conditioning

Air conditioning system refrig-
erant and lubricant recommen-
dations
E00708301033
If the air conditioning seems less effective
than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant
leak. We recommend you to have the system
inspected.
The air conditioning system in your vehicle
must be charged with the refrigerant
HFC-134a and the lubricant SUN-PAG56.
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will
cause severe damage which will result in the
need to replace your vehicle's entire air con-
ditioning system. The release of refrigerant
into the atmosphere is not recommended.
The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehi-
cle will not harm the ozone layer.
We recommend you to recover and recycle
the refrigerant for reuse.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioning should be operated for at
least five minutes each week, even in cold
weather. This is to prevent the compressor
from seizing and to maintain the air condi-
tioning in the best operating condition.
