OPERATING TIPS (for automatic air
conditioner)
When the engine coolant temperature
and outside air temperature are low, the
air flow from the foot outlets may be
limited when in the automatic mode.
However, this is not a malfunction. After
the coolant temperature warms up, air
flow from the foot outlets will operate
normally.
For rear temperature control (if so
equipped):
. The purpose of the rear temperature
control is to vary the temperature of
the rear airflow.
. The amount of airflow to the rear
ventilators is primarily controlled by
the front passenger’s blower and
mode settings.
. The amount of airflow to the rear
ventilators is also affected by the rear
temperature setting. Higher rear tem-
perature settings have lower airflow
amounts than cooler temperature
settings. This condition ensures better
comfort to the head and face area,
while primary heating for the rear
passenger seats is provided through
the foot outlets.

SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. To
avoid personal injury, any air condi-
tioner service should be done only by
an experienced technician with the
proper equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle
is charged with a refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the
earth’s ozone layer. However, it may
contribute in a small part to global
warming.
Special charging equipment and lubricant
are required when servicing your vehicle’s
air conditioner. Using improper refriger-
ants or lubricants will cause severe da-
mage to the air conditioner system. (See
“Air conditioning system refrigerant and
lubricant recommendations” (P.10-7).)
