When the interior has cooled down

to a more comfortable temperature,

close the windows and set the

controls as described for normal

cooling.

Air conditioning places an extra load

on the engine. Watch the engine

coolant temperature gauge (see page

traffic or climbing a long, steep hill.

If it moves near the red zone, turn

off the A/C until the gauge reads

normally.
