Air conditioning system oper-

ation tips

• If the vehicle has been parked in

direct sunlight during hot weather,

open the windows for a short time

to let the hot air inside the vehicle

escape.

• To help reduce moisture inside of

windows on rainy humid days,

decrease the humidity inside the

vehicle by operating the air condi-

tioning system.

• During air conditioning system

operation, you may occasionally

notice a slight change in engine

speed at idle as the air condition-

ing compressor cycles on. This is a

normal system operating charac-

teristic.

• Use the air conditioning system

every month if only for a few min-

utes to ensure maximum system

performance.

• When using the air conditioning

system, you may notice clear water

dripping (or even pudding) on the

ground under the passenger side

of the vehicle. This is a normal sys-

tem operating characteristic.

• The air conditioning system

includes a function that automati-

cally turns the air conditioning

compressor off if engine coolant

temperature approaches an over

heating level. The air conditioning

compressor operation will resume

once engine coolant temperature

returns to the normal range. Also,

the air conditioning compressor is

automatically turned off for a few

seconds when the accelerator is

fully depressed (wide open throt-

tle).

• When operating the air condition-

ing system use the outside (fresh)

air position.

• Operating the air conditioning sys-

tem in the recirculated air position

does provide maximum cooling,

however, continual operation in this

mode may cause the air inside the

vehicle to become stale.
