Air conditioning system operation tips
•  Operating  the air  conditioning system
in the recirculated air position provides
maximum  cooling, however,  continual
operation in  this mode may  cause the
air inside the vehicle to become stale.
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.
While using  the air  conditioning sys-
tem, monitor  the engine  temperature
gauge closely while driving up hills  or
in heavy traffic when  outside temper-
atures are  high. Air conditioning  sys-
tem operation may cause engine over-
heating.  Continue  to  use the  blower
fan but  turn the air  conditioning sys-
tem   off  if   the  engine   temperature
gauge indicates engine overheating.
Opening    the    windows    in   humid
weather  while air  conditioning  oper-
ates may  create water droplets  inside
the   vehicle.   Since   excessive   water
droplets may cause damage to  electri-
•  To  help reduce moisture  inside of  the
windows   on   rainy  or   humid   days,
decrease the humidity  inside the vehi-
cle  by  operating  the  air  conditioning
system.
•  During  air conditioning  system opera-
tion,  you  may   occasionally  notice  a
slight change  in engine  speed  as the
air   conditioning  compressor   cycles.
This  is   a  normal   system   operation
characteristic.
During   cooling  operation,   you   may
occasionally  notice   a  misty  air   flow
because of rapid cooling and humid air
intake. This is a normal  system opera-
tion characteristic.
•  If  you  operate  air  conditioner  exces-
sively, the difference between the tem-
perature of  the outside air  and that  of
the  windshield could  cause  the outer
surface  of  the  windshield  to  fog  up,
causing  loss of  visibility. In  this  case,
set the mode  selection knob or  button

Use the  air conditioning system  every
month only for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.

trol to the lower speed.
When  using the  air  conditioning  sys-
tem, you  may notice  clear water  drip-
ping (or  even puddling) on the  ground
under the  passenger side of  the vehi-
cle. This is a  normal system operation
characteristic.
