• If you sleep while the air conditioner or heater is on, with all win-
dows closed, you may suffocate to death.
• Continued operation in the recirculation mode may cause the inte-
rior to become stuffy and windows to fog. Use the recirculation
mode for a short period of time.
• If exhaust gas comes in, there is danger of carbon monoxide
poisoning. Use the recirculation mode for a short period of time
when driving through an area of smoke or fumes. Be sure to switch
back to fresh air mode after passing through an area of smoke or
fumes.
• If you sleep while operating the air conditioner or heater with all
the windows closed, you may suffocate to death due to lack of
ventilation. When you operate the air conditioner or heater, venti-
late frequently.
• Never leave a child or a handicapped person alone in the vehicle
with the air conditioner or heater on in hot or cold weather. The
child or handicapped person can be in serious danger by the heat
and lack of oxygen.
WARNING
• If your vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight, open all win-
dows to extract heat before turning on the air conditioning (A/C).
• Operating the air conditioning (A/C) for a long time while the ve-
hicle is parked may cause the engine to overheat.
• When driving up a long hill for an extended period of time, turn
on and off the air conditioner every 3 to 5 minutes.
• To prevent battery discharge, do not run the fan for an extended
period of time when the engine is not running.
• To maintain the system at its optimum state and to keep the lubri-
cation of the air conditioner compressor and related components,
run the air conditioner at low speed once a week.
• Do not stop the engine when the air conditioner is operating. It
may produce an unpleasant odor trapped in the duct. Turn the
fan off and wait for a few minutes in the fresh air mode before
stopping the engine.
• If you start the engine with the air conditioner on, the engine
may not start easily and the engine idling can be unstable caus-
ing the vehicle to vibrate. Be sure to turn off electrical systems
such as the fan.
• When the air conditioner is not used in periods, odors will come
out. Run the air conditioner for 20 ~ 30 minutes with the doors
opened and you could remove the odors.
• During the winter when the air conditioner is not used regularly,
run the air conditioner once or twice every month for 5 ~ 10 minutes.
• If the air conditioner is not used regularly, the lubricant in the A/C
compressor will not circulate causing the A/C to malfunction. Be
sure to turn the air conditioner at low speed.
• When a sudden acceleration is attempted while the air condi-
tioner is on, you may hear a clicking sound from the magnetic
clutch in compressor. This is a normal operation to lower inter-
nal pressure of the compressor and to protect the air condition-
ing system.
