•
In certain operating conditions when the engine gets overheated, the engine management system may switch
off the air conditioner intermittently.
•
The air conditioner might not actually be functioning even when LED on the AC switch remains illuminated. This
is to be considered as normal AC system operation.
•
During extreme cold weather conditions, the air conditioner may not function until temperature of the air near the
evaporator rises above a pre-defined threshold.
•
When air conditioner is ON, moisture is extracted from the air. The resulting condensate is drained off from the
vehicle. It is therefore normal, if you see a small pool of water under your vehicle.
•
The air conditioner should be operated at least for ten minutes once every fortnight, even during winter months.
This allows AC system components to get lubricated periodically and ensures optimum system performance.
9.8.1 Rapid Cabin Cooling
For rapid cooling of the cabin, the following AC settings are recommended:
1.
Make sure that all the windows are fully closed
2.
Set the blower to maximum speed
3.
Fully open the vents and adjust louvers to direct air toward face
4.
Turn the air conditioner ON
5.
Set the temperature control knob to extreme Right (coolest) position
Once passenger compartment reaches a comfortable temperature, blower speed and temperature control knob can
be re-adjusted as desired.
If your vehicle was parked in the hot sun with all the windows closed, drive the vehicle with windows open for the first
few minutes. This will help in venting the hot interior air out and allow the air conditioner to cool the cabin quickly.
