NOTE:
If you need maximum defrosting:
• set the air flow selector to “DEFROST”
(the air conditioning system will come on
and the “FRESH AIR” mode will be
selected automatically),
• set the blower speed selector to HIGH,
• adjust the temperature selector to the
HOT end, 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”. R-134a replaced R-12 around
1993 for automotive applications. Other
refrigerants are available, including recy-
cled R-12, but only R-134a should be used
in your vehicle.

Using the wrong refrigerant may
damage your air conditioning sys-

replace the R-134a with other refrig-
erants.
