temperatures,
 
switching

ir
 
conditioning
 
increases
 
the
 
available
 
engine
 
power
 
and
 
so
 
improves
 
the
 
towing
 
ability. The condensation created by the air
conditioning
  results   in   a   discharge

f water under the vehicle which is
per fectly   normal.
If   after   an   extended   stop   in   sunshine,  
t

he   interior   temperature   is   very  
h

igh,   first   ventilate   the   passenger  
c

ompartment   for   a   few   moments.
Put   the   air   flow   control   at   a   setting   high

any   danger   to   the   ozone   layer.
