CAUTION
僅 The refrigerant system should only be
serviced by trained and certified tech

nicians to insure proper and safe
operation.
僅 The refrigerant system should be ser

CAUTION
僅 When using the air conditioning sys
-
tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely while driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside tempera
-
tures are high. Air conditioning system
operation may cause vehicle over
-
heating. Continue to use the blower
fan but turn the air conditioning sys
-
tem off if the temperature gauge indi

cates vehicle overheating.
僅 When opening the windows in humid
weather, air conditioning may create
water droplets inside the vehicle.
Since excessive water droplets may
cause damage to electrical equip

used with the windows closed.
Air conditioning operation tips
僅 If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time to
let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
僅 To help reduce moisture inside of the
windows on rainy or humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the vehi
-
cle by operating the air conditioning
system.
僅 During air conditioning system opera
-
tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in vehicle speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
僅 Use the air conditioning system at
least every month only for a few min
-
utes to ensure maximum system per
-
formance.
