Operating Tips
               
Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.
     
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
dial/switch on for a long period of time
with the ignition switched ON when the
engine is not running.
     
Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system ef
fi
ciency.
     
Use the climate control system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
     
The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while in
a traf
fi
c jam, or when you would like to
shut off outside air for quick cooling of
the interior.
     
Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windshield defrosting.
     
If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the climate control system.
     
Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes
at least once a month to keep internal
parts lubricated.
     
Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner less
ef
fi
cient.
 
The refrigerant speci
fi
cations are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. Check
the label before re
fi
lling the refrigerant.
If the wrong type of refrigerant is used,
it could result in a serious malfunction
of the air conditioner.
