CLIMATE CONTROL
95
NOTE
The AC can be switched to ‘ON’
only if the blower is ‘ON’ and en-
gine is running.
When AC is switched to ‘ON’, engine
idling RPM increases marginally to ad-
just the AC compressor load.
When desired temperature is achieved
Ac compressor will self displace opti-
mum refrigerant flow.
NOTE

Water may drip from the under-
side of the vehicle when it is in
cooling mode. Traces of water on
the ground are normal and are
not a sign of leakage or malfunc-
tion.

Ventilate the vehicle for a brief
period during warm weather. This
will speed up the cooling process
and the desired vehicle interior
temperature will be reached
quickly.

Do not cover the air vents or air
intake grilles in the vehicle inte-
rior.

If the AC is not used for a long pe-
riod, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance
when you start using it again. Op-
erate the AC at least once a
month to maintain optimum per-
formance.

When you start the vehicle after a
long duration (more than
15
days), follow the procedure for
better AC performance:
-
Start the vehicle and allow the
engine to idle for
2
-
3
minutes.
AC should be off in this period.
-
Switch the AC on and run it for
another
2
~
3
minutes while
the engine idles. This circu-
lates the refrigerant and oil to
lubricate the internal parts of
the air-conditioning system.
