• The refrigerant system should
only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians to insure
proper and safe operation.
• The refrigerant system should
be serviced in a well-ventilated
place.
• The air conditioning evaporator
(cooling coil) shall never be
repaired or replaced with one
removed from a used or sal-
vaged vehicle and new replace-
ment MAC evaporators shall be
certified (and labelled) as meet-
ing SAE Standard J2842.
• When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the temperature
gauge closely whilst driving up
hills or in heavy traffic when out-
side temperatures are high. Air
conditioning system operation
may cause engine overheating.
Continue to use the fan but turn
the air conditioning system off if
the temperature gauge indicates
engine overheating.• When opening the windows in
humid weather air conditioning
may create water droplets inside
the vehicle. Since excessive
water droplets may cause dam-
age to electrical equipment, air
conditioning should only be
used with the windows closed.
Air conditioning system operation
tips
• If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
• After sufficient cooling has been
achieved, switch back from the
recirculated air to the fresh outside
air position.
• To help reduce moisture inside of
the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system with the win-
dows and sunroof closed.• Use the air conditioning system
every month for a few minutes to
ensure maximum system perform-
ance.
• If you operate the air conditioner
excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside air
and that of the windscreen could
cause the outer surface of the
windscreen to fog up, causing loss
of visibility. In this case, set the
mode selection knob to the
position and set the fan speed con-
trol knob to the lowest speed set-
ting.

Information
Using the system in the fresh air posi-
tion is recommended.
Prolonged operation of the heater in
the recirculated air position (without
air conditioning selected) can cause
fogging of the windscreen and side
windows and the air within the passen-
ger compartment will become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated air
position selected will result in exces-
sively dry air in the passenger com-
partment.

by pushing the fan speed control but-
ton.
More air is delivered with higher fan
speeds.

WINDSCREEN DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
• For maximum windscreen defrost-
ing, set the temperature control
knob to the highest temperature
setting and the fan control knob to
the highest fan speed. Select the
front defrost button on the climate
control display. After the engine
warm-up period, warm air will be
directed to the front windscreen.
• If warm air to the floor is desired
whilst defrosting or defogging, set
the mode to the floor-defrost posi-
tion.
• Before driving, clear all snow and
ice from the windscreen, rear win-
dow, outside rear view mirrors, and
all side windows.
• Clear all snow and ice from the bon-
net and air inlet in the cowl grill to
improve heater and defroster effi-
ciency and to reduce the probability
of fogging up inside of the wind-
screen.
Information
If the engine temperature is still cold
after starting, then a brief engine warm
up period may be required for the
vented air flow to become warm or hot.
