AC ON/OFF
Press the switch to activate / deactivate
the AC. The indicator lamp in the button
will light up when climate control is acti-
vated.
When AC is switched ‘ON’, engine idling
RPM increases marginally to adjust the AC
compressor load.
When desired temperature at evaporator
is achieved Ac compressor will self dis-
place optimum refrigerant flow.
Air Distribution Control
This is to select the air distribution pattern
as described in the table.
NOTE
The AC can be switched ‘ON’ only if the
blower is ‘ON’ and engine is running.
NOTE
Condensation may drip from the un- •
derside 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.
Never 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.
While starting the vehicle itself after •
long duration (more than 15 days),
following procedure needs to be fol-
lowed to meet AC performance.
•
Start the vehicle with AC & •
Blower in OFF condition in idling
for 2~3 minutes.
Then switch ON the AC & •
Blower and run it for another
2~3 minutes in idling for proper
circulation of refrigerant & oil to
lubricate the internal parts of AC
system.
Rear blower will be effective after 5- •
10 min of front HVAC running (after
cabin cooling).
