cabin. Use this mode for ventilation or 

windshield defrosting.

WARNING

  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

position.

        2.   Set  the  air  intake  selector  to  the  outside 

air position (indicator light turned off).

   NOTE

  If the recirculated air position is used 

for long periods in cold weather or high 

humidity, the windshield may fog up more 

easily.

position.

4.  Press the A/C switch to operate the air-

conditioning (turn indicator light on).

y

  Setting the temperature to maximum 

hot or cold will not provide the desired 

temperature at a faster rate.

y

  When selecting heat, the system will 

restrict air

prevent cold air from blowing out of the 

vents.

          Windshield 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 

windshield and side windows (page  5-4 ). 

Air

À

 ow amount will be increased.

WARNING

  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 windshield to fog up. 
Your vision will be hampered, which 
could lead to a serious accident.

   NOTE

  Use the temperature control dial to 

increase the air 

À

 ow temperature and 

defog the windshield more quickly.
