Pre-driving checks and adjustments

REARVIEW MIRROR (if so equipped)

The night position

䊊

reduces glare from the

headlights of vehicles behind you at night.

Use the day position

䊊

when driving in daylight

hours.

WARNING

Use the night position only when neces-
sary, because it reduces rear view clarity.

AUTOMATIC ANTI-GLARE
REARVIEW MIRROR (if so equipped)

The inside mirror is designed so that it automati-
cally dims according to the intensity of the head-
lights of the vehicle following you. The automatic
anti-glare feature is activated when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.

NOTE:

Do not hang any objects over the sensors

䊊

or apply glass cleaner to the sensors.

Doing so will reduce the sensitivity of the
sensors, resulting in improper operation.

The indicator light will illuminate when the auto-
matic anti-glare feature is operating.

With the ignition switch in the ON position, press
the

button as described:

● To turn off the anti-glare feature, press

the

button. The indicator light will turn

off.

● To turn on the anti-glare feature, press

the

button again. The indicator light

will turn on.

WARNING

● The air conditioner cooling function op-

erates only when the engine is running.

● Do not leave children or adults who

would normally require the assistance
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should also not be left alone. They
could accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation of
the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.

● Do not use the recirculation mode for

long periods as it may cause the interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up.

Operating tips

● Keep the windows and moonroof closed

while the air conditioner is in operation.

● After parking in the sun, drive for 2 or 3

minutes with the windows open to vent hot
air from the passenger compartment before
closing the windows. This allows the air con-
ditioner to cool the interior more quickly.

● The air conditioning system should be

operated for approximately 10 minutes
at least once a month. This helps pre-
vent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.

● A visible mist may be seen coming from the

ventilators in hot, humid conditions as the air
is cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a
malfunction.

● If the high temperature warning

light

illuminates in red indicating

engine coolant temperature is over the
normal range, turn the air conditioner
off. See “If your vehicle overheats” in
the “In case of emergency” section of
this manual.

AIR FLOW CHARTS

The following charts show the button and dial
positions for MAXIMUM AND QUICK heating,
cooling or defrosting. The air intake lever
should always be in the

position for

heating and defrosting.
