Operating tipsIKeep windows and sun roof closed while
the air conditioner is in operation.
IAfter parking in the sun, drive for two or
three minutes with the windows open to
vent hot air from the passenger compart-
ment. Then, close the windows. This will
allow the air conditioner to cool the interior
more quickly.
IThe air conditioning system should be
operated for about ten minutes at least
once a month. This helps prevent dam-
age to the system due to lack of lubrica-
tion.
IIf the coolant temperature gauge exceeds
the hot position, turn the air conditioner off.

hicle overheatsº in the ª6. In case of emer-
gencyº section.AIR FLOW CHARTSThe following charts show the button and dial
