(if equipped)

Manual heating and air

conditioning system

• If the heating performance can no longer

perform at a sufficient level due to auto-

matically stopping the engine, press the

ENG A-STOP OFF switch to deactivate

the ENG A-STOP system. (The engine

will automatically restart and the heating

performance will be restored.)

(1)

• If the windshield and/or the driver’s side/

passenger side door windows are

fogged during automatically stopping the

engine, stop the ENG A-STOP system

and restart the engine. Then, turn the air

flow selector (4) to change the air flow to

the HEAT & DEFROST or DEFROST

position to defog the windows.

NOTE:

If you need maximum defrosting, adjust

the temperature selector to hot end and

adjust the side outlets so the air blows on

the side window, in addition to the above

Defrosting procedure.

This selector is used to select the following

modes.

FRESH AIR (a)

When this mode is selected by moving the

lever to left, outside air comes in.

RECIRCULATED AIR (b)

This is used to select one of the following

functions.

Temperature-controlled air comes out of

the center and side air outlets.

When this mode is selected by moving the

lever to right, outside air is shut out and

inside air is recirculated. This mode is suit-

able when driving through dusty or polluted

air such as in a tunnel, or when attempting

to quickly cool down or warm up the inte-

rior.

NOTE:

If you select RECIRCULATED AIR for an

extended period of time, the air in the vehi-

cle can become contaminated and the win-

dows tend to get misted. Therefore, you

should select FRESH AIR whenever possi-

ble.

Temperature-controlled air comes out of

the floor outlets and cooler air comes out

of the center and side outlets. When the

temperature selector (1) is in the fully cold

position or fully hot position, however, the

air from the floor outlets and the air from

the center and side outlets will be the

same temperature.

Temperature-controlled air comes out of

the floor outlets and the side outlets, also

comes out of the windshield defroster out-

lets and also comes slightly out of the side

defroster outlets.

Temperature-controlled air comes out of

the floor outlets, the windshield defroster

outlets, the side defroster outlets and the

side outlets.

System operating instructions

DEFROST (g)

Air conditioning switch (5)

To turn on the air conditioning system, set

the blower speed selector to a position

other than off and push in “A/C” switch.

With this “A/C” switch operation, a indica-

tor light will come on when the air condi-

tioning system is working. To turn off the

air conditioning system, push “A/C” switch

again.

Natural ventilation

Select VENTILATION and FRESH AIR, the

temperature selector to the desired tem-

perature position, and the blower speed

selector to off. Fresh air will flow through

the vehicle during driving.

Forced ventilation

During operation of the air conditioner, you

may notice slight changes in engine

speed. These changes are normal, the

system is designed so that the compressor

turns on or off to maintain the desired tem-

perature.

The base settings are the same as for nat-

ural ventilation except you set the blower

speed selector to a position other than off.

Normal heating (using outside air)

Select HEAT and FRESH AIR, the tem-

perature selector to the desired tempera-

ture position and the blower speed selector

to the desired blower speed position. Set-

ting the blower speed selector to a higher

blower speed position increases heating

efficiency.

52RM50300

Temperature-controlled air comes out of

the windshield defroster outlets, the side

defroster outlets and the side outlets.

Less operation of the compressor results

in better fuel economy.

Quick heating (using recirculated air)

The base settings are the same as for nor-

mal heating except you select RECIRCU-

LATED AIR. If you use this heating method

for an extended period of time, the air in

the vehicle can become contaminated and

the windows can become misty. Therefore,

use this method only for quick heating and

change to the normal heating method as

soon as possible.

OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT

Head cooled/Feet warmed heating

• If your vehicle has been left in the sun

with the windows closed, it will cool

faster if you open the windows briefly

while you operate the air conditioner with

the air intake selector at FRESH AIR and

the blower at high speed.

NOTE:

Select BI-LEVEL and FRESH AIR, the

temperature selector to the desired tem-

perature position, and the blower speed

selector to the desired blower speed posi-

tion. Unless the temperature selector is in

the fully cold position or fully hot position,

the air that comes out of the center and

side outlets will be cooler than the air that

comes out of the floor outlets.

If you need maximum defrosting:

• select DEFROST and FRESH AIR,

• set the blower speed selector to high,

• adjust the temperature selector to the

hot end,

• turn on “A/C” switch, and

• adjust the side outlets so the air blows

on the side windows.

Dehumidifying

Set the air flow selector to a desired air

flow selector position, the temperature

selector to the desired temperature posi-

tion and the blower speed selector to the

desired blower speed position. Also select

FRESH AIR and turn on “A/C” switch.

Normal cooling

Set the air flow selector to VENTILATION,

the temperature selector to the desired tem-

perature position and the blower speed

selector to the desired blower speed posi-

tion, and turn on “A/C” switch. Setting the

blower speed selector to a higher blower

speed position increases cooling efficiency.

NOTE:

Because the air conditioner dehumidifies

the air, turning it on will help keep the win-

dows clear, even when blowing heated air

using DEFROST or HEAT & DEFROST

functions.

You can switch the air intake selector to

either FRESH AIR or RECIRCULATED

AIR as you desire. Choosing RECIRCU-

LATED AIR increases cooling efficiency.

EXAMPLE

Quick cooling (using recirculated air)

The base settings are the same as for nor-

mal cooling except you select RECIRCU-

LATED AIR and the highest blower speed.

NOTE:

• If you select RECIRCULATED AIR for an

extended period of time, the air in the

vehicle can become contaminated and

the windows tend to get misted. There-

fore, you should select FRESH AIR

whenever possible.

OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT

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.

If your air conditioner is equipped with air

filters, clean or replace them as specified

in “Maintenance schedule” in “INSPEC-

TION AND MAINTENANCE” section.

NOTE:

Your vehicle uses the air conditioning

refrigerant HFO-1234yf, commonly called

R-1234yf. R-1234yf replaced R-134a for

automotive applications. Other refriger-

ants are available, but only R-1234yf

should be used in your vehicle.

NOTICE

Using the wrong refrigerant may

damage your air conditioning sys-

tem. Use R-1234yf only. Do not mix or

replace the R-1234yf with other refrig-

erants.
