Important operation tips for air
conditioning
EH04JABb
(1) Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the ve-
hicle interior extremely hot, and it will re-
quire more to cool the interior.
If it is necessary to park in the sun, open
the windows for the first few minutes of
air conditioning operation to expel the
hot air.
(2) Close the windows when the air condi-
tioning is in use. The entry of outside air
through open windows will reduce the
cooling efficiency.
(3) Too much cooling is not good for the
health. The inside air temperature
should only be 5 to 6_C below the out-
side air temperature.
(4) When operating the system, make sure
the air intake, which is located in front of
the windscreen, is free of obstructions
such as leaves. Leaves collected in the
air-intake plenum may reduce air flow
and plug the plenum water drains.
