Important operation tips for
the air conditioning

E00708302128

l

Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the ve-
hicle inside extremely hot, and it will re-
quire 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  conditioning  operation  to  expel  the
hot air.

l

Close  the  windows  when  the  air  condi-
tioning is in use. The entry of outside air
through  open  windows  will  reduce  the
cooling efficiency.

l

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.

l

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 collec-
ted in the air-intake plenum may reduce
air  flow  and  plug  the  plenum  water
drains.

Air conditioning system refrig-

erant and lubricant recommen-

dations

If  the  air  conditioning  seems  less  effective
than  usual,  the  cause  might  be  a  refrigerant
leak. We recommend you to have the system
inspected.
The  air  conditioning  system  in  your  vehicle
must  be  charged  with  the  refrigerant
HFC- 134a and the lubricant DH-PR.
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will
cause severe damage which will result in the
need to replace your vehicle’s entire air con-
ditioning  system.  The  release  of  refrigerant
into the atmosphere should be prevented.
It is recommended that the refrigerant be re-
covered 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 internal parts and to main-
tain the air conditioning in the best operating
condition.

Air purifier*

E00708401773

An  air  filter  has  been  incorporated  into  this
air  conditioner  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

l

Operation in certain conditions such as driv-
ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the
air conditioner 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 easi-
ly, replace the air filter.
We recommend you to have it checked.

The audio system can only be used when the
ignition  switch  or  the  operation  mode  is  in
ON or ACC.

NOTE

l

For  vehicles  equipped  with  the  Keyless  op-
eration system, if the operation mode is left
in ACC, the accessory power will automati-
cally  turn  off  after  a  certain  period  of  time
and you will no longer be able to use the au-
dio  system.  The  accessory  power  comes  on
again if the engine switch is operated with it
in the “ACC” position. Refer to “ACC pow-
er auto-cutout function” on page 6-15.

l

If a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle,
it  may  create  noise  from  the  audio  equip-
ment.  This  does  not  mean  that  anything  is
wrong with your audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a place as far
away as possible from the audio equipment.

l

If foreign objects or water get into the audio
equipment,  or  if  smoke  or  a  strange  odour
comes from it, immediately turn off the au-
dio  system.  We  recommend  you  to  have  it
checked.  Never  try  to  repair  it  by  yourself.
Avoid  continuous  usage  without  inspection
by a qualified person.

Handling of Discs

E00735901125

This explains care that should be taken in the
handling of discs.

Important Points on Handling

l

Fingerprints  or  other  marks  on  the  read
surface of the disc may result in its con-
tent  being  more  difficult  to  read.  When
holding the disc, grip both edges, or one
edge  and  the  centre  hole,  in  order  that
the read surface is not touched.

l

Do not affix paper or stickers, or other-
wise damage the disc.

l

Do not forcefully insert a disc if another
is already within the device. This can re-
sult in damage to discs, or malfunction.

Cleaning

l

Periodically clean the read surface of the
disc.  When  cleaning,  do  not  wipe  in  a
circular  motion.  Instead,  wipe  gently
outwards  from  the  centre  of  the  disc  to
the outer edge.

l

New discs may have burring around the
outer  edge  or  in  the  hole  in  the  centre.
Ensure you check for these. If there are
burrs, these may lead to faulty operation,
therefore ensure these are removed.

Important Points on Storage

l

When  not  using  discs,  ensure  these  are
kept  in  cases,  and  stored  out  of  direct
sunlight.

l

If  discs  are  not  going  to  be  used  for  a
long  period  of  time,  remove  these  from
the product.

Disc Playback Environment

In  cold  environments  such  as  in  mid-winter
when the interior of the vehicle is cold, turn-
ing  the  heater  on  and  immediately  trying  to
use the product may cause condensation (wa-
ter droplets) to form on the disc and internal
optical components, and this may prevent the
product from operating correctly.
In these conditions, remove the disc, and wait
a short time before use.

Copyright

Actions  such  as  unauthorized  reproduction,
broadcast,  public  performance,  or  rental  of
discs  that  comprise  other  than  personal  use
are prohibited by law.
