Driving your vehicle
Air conditioning system oper-
ation tips
• If the vehicle has been parked in
1
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
2
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
• To help reduce moisture inside of
3
windows on rainy humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the
4
vehicle by operating the air condi-
tioning system.
• During air conditioning system
5
operation, you may occasionally
notice a slight change in engine
speed at idle as the air condition-
6
ing compressor cycles on. This is a
normal system operating charac-
7
teristic.

• Use the air conditioning system
every month if only for a few min-
utes to ensure maximum system
performance.
• When using the air conditioning
system, you may notice clear water
dripping (or even pudding) on the
ground under the passenger side
of the vehicle. This is a normal sys-
tem operating characteristic.
• The
air
conditioning
includes a function that automati-
cally turns the air conditioning
compressor off if engine coolant
temperature approaches an over
heating level. The air conditioning
compressor operation will resume
once engine coolant temperature
returns to the normal range. Also,
the air conditioning compressor is
automatically turned off for a few
seconds when the accelerator is
fully depressed (wide open throt-
tle).
• When operating the air condition-
ing system use the outside (fresh)
air position.
• Operating the air conditioning sys-
tem in the recirculated air position
does provide maximum cooling,
however, continual operation in this
mode may cause the air inside the
vehicle to become stale.
