WARNING
  •  The air conditioner cooling function operates only when the engine is running.
  •  Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assistance of others alone in your vehicle. Pets should also not be left alone. They could accidentally injure themselves or others through inadvertent operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days, temperatures in a closed vehicle could quickly become high enough to cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
  •  Do not use the recirculation mode for long periods as it may cause the interior air to become stale and the windows to fog up.

NOTE:

  •  Odors from inside and outside the vehicle can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor can enter the passenger compartment through the vents.
  •  When parking, set the heater and air conditioner controls to turn off air recirculation to allow fresh air into the passenger compartment.

    This should help reduce odors inside the vehicle.

Controls

Fan control dial

The fan control dial turns the fan on and off, and controls fan speed.

Air flow control buttons

The air flow control buttons allow you to select the air flow outlets.

MAX A/C — Air flows mainly from center and side vents with maximum cooling and  turns on.

 — Air flows mainly from center and side vents and foot outlets.
 — Air flows mainly from foot outlets and partly from defroster.
 — Air flows mainly from defroster outlets and foot outlets.
— Air flows mainly from defroster outlets.

Temperature control dial The temperature control dial allows you to adjust the temperature of the outlet air. To lower the temperature, turn the dial to the left. To increase the temperature, turn the dial to the right.

Air recirculation button

On position (Indicator light on):

Interior air is recirculated inside the vehicle.

Press the button to the ON position when:

  •  driving on a dusty road.
  •  to prevent traffic fumes from entering passenger compartment.

Operating tips

  •  Keep the windows and moonroof closed while the air conditioner is in operation.
  •  After parking in the sun, drive for 2 or 3 minutes with the windows open to vent hot air from the passenger compartment. Then, close the windows. This allows the air conditioner to cool the interior more quickly.
  •  The air conditioning system should be operated for approximately 10 minutes at least once a month. This helps prevent damage to the system due to lack of lubrication.
  •  A visible mist may be seen coming from the ventilators in hot, humid conditions as the air is cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a malfunction.
  • If the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates engine coolant temperature over the normal range, turn the air conditioner off. For additional information, refer to “If your vehicle overheats” in the “In case of emergency” section of this manual.
  •  If the engine coolant temperature becomes too high,  will be activated and the indicator light will come on automatically.
  •  When IGN is OFF, button characters will not illuminate.
