110 Temperature control system
Caution
Usage of the rear windshield
defroster
is prohibited
under the following
circumstances:
● The engine is not running.
● Snow or ice has deposited
on the rear windshield.
If you use the rear
windshield defroster under
these circumstances, the
vehicle battery can become
under voltage
.
Air Conditioning System
Refrigerating device of the air
conditioning system is used to cool
down the inside air and remove the
moisture and dust contained in the air.
If the temperature control knob is
already set to a comparatively high
temperature, warm air will be generated
inside the vehicle even though the air
conditioning refrigeration (A/C) function
is activated.
Note
After the air conditioning
system is turned on, you can
find water drops in the lower
area
of the engine
compartment. The water
drops are formed as moisture
in the air condenses on
surface of the air conditioning
system component, which is
a normal phenomenon.
Note
As the air conditioning
compressor
works, it
consumes certain engine
power. This is the reason
why you may find that the
vehicle power performance
decreases when the air
conditioning
refrigeration
function is activated.
