Since the air conditioner removes considerable moisture from the air
during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under
the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you
have stopped the vehicle.

Under normal conditions, your vehicle’s climate control system should be
left in any position other than MAX or OFF when the vehicle is parked.
This allows the vehicle to “breathe” through the outside air inlet duct.
Prior to turning off the ignition, in snowy or dirty conditions, ensure that
the climate contol system is turned OFF.
• OFF-Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. For short

periods of time only, use this mode to reduce undesirable odors from
entering the vehicle.
