Operation Tips
- To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from entering the car through the ventilation
system, temporarily set the air intake control to the recirculated air position.
Be sure to return the control to the fresh air position when the irritation
has passed to keep fresh air in the vehicle. This will help keep the driver
alert and comfortable.
- Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn in through the grilles just
ahead of the windshield. Care should be taken that these are not blocked by
leaves, snow, ice or other obstructions.
- To prevent interior fog on the windshield, set the air intake control to
the fresh air position and fan speed to the desired position, turn on the air
conditioning system, and adjust the temperature control to desired temperature.
Air conditioning
1. Start the engine. Push the air conditioning button.
2. Set the mode to the position.
3. Set the air intake control to the outside air or recirculated air position.
4. Adjust the fan speed control and temperature control to maintain maximum comfort.
✽ NOTICE
- When using the air conditioning system, monitor the engine temperature
gauge closely while driving up hills or in heavy traffic when outside temperatures
are high. Air conditioning system operation may cause engine overheating. Continue
to use the blower fan but turn the air conditioning system off if the engine
temperature gauge indicates engine overheating.
- When opening the windows in humid weather air conditioning may create
water droplets inside the vehicle. Since excessive water droplets may cause
damage to electrical equipment, air conditioning should only be operated with
the windows closed.
Air conditioning system operation 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 the windows on rainy or humid days, decrease
the humidity inside the vehicle by operating the air conditioning system.
- During air conditioning system operation, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in engine speed as the air conditioning compressor cycles. This
is a normal system operation characteristic.
- Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.
- After sufficient cooling has been achieved, switch back from the recirculated
air to the fresh outside air position.
- When using the air conditioning system, you may notice clear water dripping
(or even puddling) on the ground under the passenger side of the vehicle. This
is a normal system operation characteristic.
- 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.
- During cooling operation, you may occasionally notice a misty air flow because
of rapid cooling and humid air intake. This is a normal system operation characteristic.
