system removes the moisture from
the air.
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.
A/C button
Operated with the button and is
functional only when the engine and
fan are running.
The air conditioning system cools
and dehumidifies (dries) as soon as
the outside temperature is slightly
above the freezing point. Therefore
condensation may form and drip
from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch the cooling system off to
save fuel.
Caution
Using your air conditioning (A/C)
system while driving up long hills
or in heavy traffic can cause
engine overheating.
Watch temperature gauge.
Turn OFF the A/C if the gauge
indicates engine overheating.
Vehicle can be damaged.

conditioning (A/C):
1. Start the engine.
2. Press A/C button. (Indicator light
