fan position to 1, 2, 3, or 4 to begin air
circulation. An indicator lamp illuminates
on the button when the air conditioning is
in use.
Note The fan must be switched on for the

Even when the air conditioning system
is on, your vehicle will produce warm

Press the air conditioning switch again to switch the air conditioning off.
You may notice water dripping under the vehicle sometimes after driving with air
conditioning on. This is normal because your air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air inside the cabin.
Because the compressor of the air conditioning system shares the engine power, you
may notice a slight change in engine power and performance when the compressor
operates.
