CAUTION
• Do not stop the engine when the air conditioner is operating. It
may produce an unpleasant odor trapped in the duct. Turn the fan
off and wait for a few minutes in fresh air mode before stopping
the engine off.
• If you start the engine with the air conditioner on, the engine may
not start easily and the engine idling can be unstable causing ve-
hicle to vibrate. Be sure to turn off electrical systems such as
fan.
• When the air conditioner is not used in periods, odors will come
out. Run the air conditioner for 20 ~ 30 minutes with the doors
opened and you could remove the odors.
• During the winter when the air conditioner is not used regularly,
run the air conditioner once or twice every month for 5 ~ 10
minutes. Otherwise, the oil in the compressor will not be circu-
lated and could result in malfunctions. Do not forget to run the air
conditioner in low speed.
