NOTICE
- When using the air conditioning system, carefully monitor the temperature gauge while driving uphill or in heavy traffic when outside temperatures are high. Continue to use the fan but turn off the air conditioning system if the temperature gauge indicates the engine is overheating.
- Always use air conditioning with the windows closed. In humid weather, if the windows are open and the air conditioning is running, water droplets may form inside the vehicle and potentially damage electrical equipment.
- If the vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight in hot weather, open the windows briefly to allow hot air to escape from the vehicle.
- Once sufficient cooling is achieved, switch back from the recirculation position to the fresh outside air position.
- To reduce humidity inside the windows on rainy or humid days, reduce humidity inside the vehicle using the air conditioning system with the windows and sunroof closed.
- Run the air conditioning system for several minutes every month to ensure maximum system performance.
- If you operate the air conditioning excessively, the difference between the outside air temperature and the windshield temperature may cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, resulting in loss of visibility. In this case, set the mode selector knob to the defrost position.
