direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.

days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system.
During air conditioning system operation, you may occasionally
notice a slight change in engine
speed as the air conditioning com-
pressor cycles. This is a normal
