A/C System

A/C Maintenance
The A/C system is fully sealed. The main
maintenance work of the system should only be
done by qualified technical personnel. To enable
the system remains in its best state, the vehicle
owner should make sure to operate the system
for a short period of time each week (even in
winter). When the engine is at normal operating
temperature, start the A/C and keep it on for at
least 10 minutes while driving the vehicle at a
stable speed.
The extra moisture generated during the
dehumidification process is drained outside by
the system via the drainage pipe in the vehicle
bottom. This may cause water accumulation on
the road surface when the vehicle is still. This is
no cause for concern.
A/C Filter
The A/C filter (as a standard configuration for
vehicles equipped with an A/C) is located inside
the A/C box case at the left front side of the
glove box. It helps to keep the air inside the
vehicle fresh and prevent pollen and dust from
entering the vehicle. To keep it working
properly, it is necessary to check whether the
filter is dirty every time the vehicle is inspected.
If necessary, it should be replaced.
Caution
●
Park the vehicle in a cool place as much as
possible. Parking in the hot sun can heat up
the air inside the vehicle, thus increasing the
time taken to cool the vehicle. If you have to
park your vehicle in direct sunlight, please
open the vehicle windows to let out the hot
air inside for the first few minutes after the
A/C system is turned on.
●
When using the A/C system, please close
the vehicle windows. The entry of air from
outside will lower A/C efficiency.
●
When the A/C system is running, please
confirm that the air inlet in front of the front
windshield is unobstructed, such as by tree
leaves or other objects. The accumulation of
blocking objects at the air inlet will affect the
flow of air.
