Air Conditioning

#

(Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the

air conditioning (A/C) compressor on and off. When air
conditioning is selected, an indicator light comes on
to show that the air conditioning has been activated.

The air conditioning compressor does not work
when outside temperatures fall below 40°F (4°C).
Pressing this button when the outside temperature
is too cool makes the air conditioning indicator
flash three times and turn off to let you know the
air conditioning mode is not available. If the air
conditioning is on and the outside temperature
drops below a temperature which is too cool for
air conditioning to be effective, the air conditioning
light turns off to show that the air conditioning mode
has been canceled.

On hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot inside air escape. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps
the system to operate more efficiently.

The air conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so a small amount of water may drip underneath
your vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.

Sensors

The solar sensor, located in the defrost grille in the
middle of the instrument panel, monitors the solar
radiation. Do not cover the solar sensor or the system
will not work properly.
