Air Conditioning
Optional for S model
Your car's air conditioning is a
sealed system. Any major mainte-
nance, such as recharging, should
be done by a qualified technician.
There are a couple of things you
can do to make sure the air condi-
tioning works efficiently.
Periodically check the engine's
radiator and air conditioning
condenser for leaves, insects, and
dirt stuck to the front surface.
These block the air flow and
reduce cooling efficiency. Use a
light spray from a hose or a soft
brush to remove them.
The condenser and radiator fins
bend easily. Only use a low-
pressure spray or soft-bristle brush
to clean them.
Run the air conditioning at least
once a week during the cold
weather months. Run it for at least
ten minutes while you are driving
at a steady speed with the engine at
normal operating temperature.
This circulates the lubricating oil
contained in the refrigerant.
If the air conditioning does not get
as cold as before, it is probably
because some of the refrigerant has
leaked from the system. Have your
dealer check the system for leaks
and recharge the system with
Refrigerant R134a.
Charging quantity:
600 — 650 g (21.2—23.0 oz)
Whenever you have the air condi-
tioning system serviced, make sure
the service facility uses a refrige-
rant recycling system. This system
captures the refrigerant for reuse.
Releasing refrigerant into the at-
mosphere can damage the environ-
ment.
