Using the wrong refrigerant may
damage your air conditioning system.
Use R-134a only. Do not mix or replace
the R-134a with other refrigerants.
CAUTION
NOTE:
If you need maximum demisting:
•
set the air flow selector to “DEMIST”,
•
set the blower speed selector to HIGH,
•
adjust the temperature selector to the
HOT end,
•
turn on the “A/C” switch, and
•
adjust the side outlets so the air blows
on the side windows.
Maintenance
If you do not use the air conditioner for a
long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain opti-
mum performance and durability of your air
conditioner, it needs to be run periodically.
Operate the air conditioner at least once a
month for one minute with the engine idling.
This circulates the refrigerant and oil and
helps protect the internal components.
NOTE:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning
refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly called “R-
134a”. Only R-134a should be used in your
vehicle.
