Tips on operations of
cooling system
If the vehicle is under direction irradiation
of sunlight, open windows before turning
on air conditioner.
To rinse windows in rainy days, turn on air
conditioner to reduce inside temperature,
which is effective in both rainy days and
hot weather.
When traveling in an area of heavy traffic,
the cooling system may cool inadequately
due to frequent stop and crawling.
If the A/C system is out of use for one
month or longer, even if it is in winter, be
sure to let engine run at idle speed with
A/C turned on for several minutes at least
once per month, so as to maintain proper
lubrication and leakproofness of
compressor and extend operating life of
the system.
After the blower switch is turned off, A/C
compressor will not work.
In order to ensure good refrigeration effect,
you should regularly check the condenser
for blockage by foreign body; if any
blockage exists, please flush the condenser
to ensure good refrigeration effect.
