WARNING
• The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.
• Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assistance of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets should
also not be left alone. They could acci-
dentally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of the
vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause se-
vere or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
• Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up.
Start the engine and operate the controls to
activate the air conditioner.

OPERATING TIPS
The sensors,OAandOBon the instrument
panel, help the system maintain a constant
temperature. Do not put anything on or
around these sensors. • When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air may
flow from defroster or foot outlets to ini-
tialize automatic heating mode. This is not a
malfunction. After the coolant temperature
warms up, air will flow normally from the
foot outlets
• A visible mist may be seen coming from the ventilators in hot, humid conditions as the
air is cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
