Air conditioning places an extra load
on the engine. Watch the engine
coolant temperature gauge (see page
) when driving in stop-and-go
traffic or climbing a long, steep hill.
If it moves near the red zone, turn
off the A/C until the gauge reads
normally.
When the interior has cooled down
to a more comfortable temperature,
close the windows and set the
controls as described for normal
cooling.
If the interior is very warm from
being parked in the sun, you can cool
it down more rapidly by setting up
the controls this way:
Turn on the A/C by pressing the
A/C button. The light above the
button should come on when a fan
speed is selected.
Make sure the temperature
control dial is set to maximum cool.
Select
.
If the outside air is humid, select
Recirculation mode. If the outside
air is dry, select Fresh Air mode.
Set the fan to the desired speed.
Start the engine.
Turn on the A/C by pressing the
A/C button. Make sure the tem-
perature control dial is set to
maximum cool.
Set the fan to maximum speed.
Open the windows partially. Select
and Fresh Air mode.
