Air conditioning system

The refrigeration unit of the air
conditioning (A/C) system cools and
removes moisture, dust, and pollen
from the air inside your vehicle.
Even with the A/C on, your vehicle
will produce warm air if you set the
temperature control knob to warm.
Note
You may notice water drip under
the engine compartment
sometimes after driving with A/C
on. This is normal because your
cooling system removes the
moisture from the air.
Note
Because the compressor of the
cooling system shares the engine
power, you may notice slight
change in engine power and
performance when the compressor
operates.
