When AC is switched to ‘ON’, engine idling
RPM increases marginally to adjust the AC
compressor load.
When desired temperature is achieved Ac
compressor will self displace optimum re-
frigerant flow.
NOTE
The AC can be switched to ‘ON’ only if
the blower is ‘ON’ and engine is run-
ning.
NOTE
Water may drip from the underside •
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 malfunction.
Ventilate the vehicle for a brief pe- •
riod during warm weather. This will
speed up the cooling process and
the desired vehicle interior temper-
ature will be reached quickly.
•
Do not cover the air vents or air in- •
take grilles in the vehicle interior.
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. Operate the
AC at least once a month to main-
tain optimum performance.
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 circulates the
refrigerant and oil to lubricate
the internal parts of the air-con-
ditioning system.
