When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the engine tem-
perature gauge closely while driv-
ing up hills or in heavy traffic
when outside temperatures are
high. Air conditioning system
operation when climbing a steep
grade or in high outside ambient
temperatures can cause engine
overheating. Continue to use the
fan, but turn the air conditioning
system off if the engine tempera-
ture gauge indicates engine over-
heating.
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 recir-
culation mode to fresh mode. 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
windows and sunroof closed.
Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few min-
utes to ensure maximum system
performance.
If you operate air conditioner excessively, the difference
between the temperature of the
outside air and that of the wind-
shield could cause the outer sur-
face of the windshield to fog up,
causing loss of visibility. In this
case, set the mode selection knob
or button to the position and
fan speed control to the lower
speed.

dent resulting in serious injury
or death. In this case, set the
