Pressing the A/C switch while the AUTO switch is turned on will turn off the air conditioning (cooling/dehumidifying functions). The air conditioning can be turned on and off by pressing the A/C switch while the fan control dial is on.

NOTE.

The air conditioner may not function when the outside temperature approaches 0 °C (32 °F).

(Indicator remains on even when system is off.)

Air intake selector

Outside or recirculated air positions can be selected. Press the switch to select outside/recirculated air positions.

Recirculated air position (indicator light illuminated)

Use this position when going through tunnels, driving in congested traffic (high engine exhaust areas) or when quick cooling is desired.

Outside air position (indicator light turned off)

Use this position for normal conditions and defogging.

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.

AMB (Ambient Temperature) switch

Press the AMB switch to display the ambient temperature.

NOTE.

- The displayed ambient temperature may vary from the actual ambient temperature depending on the surrounding area and vehicle conditions.

- Press the AMB switch 2 seconds or more to switch the display from Fahrenheit to Centigrade or vice versa.

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 flow temperature and defog the windshield more quickly.

Sunlight/Temperature Sensor

The fully automatic air conditioner function measures inside and outside temperatures, and sunlight. It then sets temperatures inside the passenger compartment accordingly.

CAUTION.

Do not obstruct either sensor, otherwise the automatic air conditioner will not operate properly.
