Operating tips
IKeep windows and sunroof 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
allows the air conditioner to cool the
interior more quickly.
IThe air conditioning system should be
operated for approximately ten min-
utes at least once a month. This helps
prevent damage to the system due to
lack of lubrication.
IIf the engine coolant temperaturegauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature over the normal range, turn
the air conditioner off. See²If your
vehicle overheats²in the²In case of
emergency²section of this manual.
