Air conditioning controls
*
[CF06950(ALL)01/96]
Sometimes you may notice slight engine surging
if you have the air conditioner on. This is
normal, as the system is designed to cycle the
compressor on and off to maintain desired
cooling. The reduced compressor operation
should benefit fuel economy.
*
[CF07000(ALL)01/96]
On some vehicles with air conditioning,
wide-open throttle acceleration will temporarily
cut off the air conditioning.
*
[CF07050(ALL)01/96]
Since the air conditioner removes a lot of
moisture from the air during operation, it is
normal for water to drip on the pavement under
the air conditioner drain after you have stopped
the vehicle.
[CF07150(ALL)01/96]
Action for heating and windshield defrosting are
identical for cars equipped with either the
Heating Only Systemor theHeating and Air
Conditioning System. For instructions about these
