steam at ventilation port outlet:
this situation is normal and does
not indicate air conditioning system
malfunction.
• Automatic Temperature Controls
(ATC) will automatically adjust the
climate control settings to prevent
or eliminate window fogging on the
front windshield.
• Make sure the A/C system air intake
grille, located under the bonnet
directly in front of the windshield, is
free of obstructions such as leaves
or other objects. Leaves collected in
the air intake may reduce airflow,
and if they enter the plenum, they
could plug the water drains. In winter
make sure the air intake is clear of
ice, slush, and snow.
• The temperature can be displayed
in US or Metric. units by selecting
the "Units" customer programmable
function. See "Functions of Settings
Menu on MIA" in this section.
• Any time you store your vehicle
or keep it stationary (i.e., during
vacation) for two weeks or more, run
the air conditioning system at idle
for about five minutes in the fresh
air by high blower setting. This will
ensure adequate system lubrication
and minimize the possibility of
compressor damage when the system
is started again.
A/C Filter
The climate control system filters
outside air containing dust, pollen and
some odors. Strong odors cannot be
totally removed by A/C filter at the
entrance of the air climate system. See
"Maintenance Procedures" in section
"Maintenance and Care" for filter
replacement instructions.
