turn the air conditioning (A/C)
compressor on and off. An indicator
light comes on to show that the air
conditioning is on.

outside temperature is too cool for
air conditioning will make the air
conditioning indicator flash 3 times
and then turn off indicating the air
conditioning mode is not available.

outside temperature drops below a
temperature which is too cool for air
conditioning to be effective, the air
conditioning light turns off to show
that the air conditioning mode has
been canceled.
On hot days, open the windows long
enough to let hot inside air escape.
This helps to reduce the time it
takes for the vehicle to cool down.
It also helps the system to operate
more efficiently.
The air conditioning system
removes moisture from the air, so a
small amount of water might drip
under the vehicle while idling or
after turning off the engine. This is
normal.

entering the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be
used with floor, defog, or defrost
modes. If recirculation is selected
with one of those modes, the
indicator light flashes three times
and then turns off. The air
conditioning compressor also
comes on when this mode is
activated. While in recirculation
