Air Conditioning System
The 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.
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 the surface of the air
conditioning system component, which is
normal.
As the air conditioning compressor works, it
consumes engine power. Vehicle power
performance may decrease when the air
conditioning function is activated.
