Important operation tips for the

air conditioning

E00708300951

Park the vehicle in the shade.

Parking in the hot sun

will make the vehicle

inside extremely hot, and it will require 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 con-

ditioning operation to expel the hot air.

Close the windows when the air conditioning

is in use. The entry of outside air through

open windows will reduce the cooling effi-

ciency.

Too much cooling is not good for the health.

The inside air temperature should only be 5

to 6 °C below the outside air temperature.

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 collected in the air-

intake plenum may reduce air flow and plug

the plenum water drains.

Air conditioning system refrigerant

and lubricant recommendations

If the air conditioning seems less effective than usu-

al, the cause might be a refrigerant leak. We recom-

mend you to have the system inspected.

The air conditioning system in your vehicle must

be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a and the

lubricant ZXL-100PG.

Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause

severe damage which will result in the need to re-

place your vehicle’s entire air conditioning system.

The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere

should be prevented.

It is recommended that the refrigerant be recovered

and recycled for further use.

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 poor lubrication of the compressor in-

ternal parts and to maintain the air conditioning in

the best operating condition.

Air purifier*

E00708400675

An air filter has been

incorporated into this air con-

ditioning so that dirt and dust are cleaned from the

air.

Replace the air filter periodically as its ability to

clean the air will be reduced as it collects pollen

and dirt. For the maintenance interval, refer to the

“SERVICE BOOKLET”.

NOTE

Operation in certain conditions such as driv-

ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the

air conditioning can lead to reduction of serv-

ice life of the filter. When you feel that the

air flow is lower than normal or when the

windscreen or windows start to fog up easily,

replace the air filter.

We recommend you to have it checked.

For pleasant driving
