4-52AIR CONDITIONING
SYSTEM OPERATING
TIPS:• If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time to
let hot air inside the vehicle escape.
• To help reduce moisture on the inside
of windows on rainy, humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the
vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system.
• During air conditioning system
operation, you may occasionally
notice a slight change in engine
speed at idle as the A/C compressor
cycles ON. This is a normal system
operating characteristic.
• Use the air conditioning system every
month if only for a few minutes.
• After air conditioning system use,
you may notice clear water dripping
(or even puddling) on the ground
under the passenger side of the
vehicle. This is a normal system
operating characteristic.• The air conditioning system includes
a function that will automatically turn
the A/C compressor OFF if engine
coolant temperature approaches an
overheating level. A/C compressor
operation will resume once engine
coolant temperature returns to the
“normal” range. Also, the A/C
compressor is automatically turned
off for a few seconds when the
accelerator is fully depressed.
• When operating the air conditioning
system use the outside (fresh) air
position.
• Operating the air conditioning system
in the recirculated air position does
provide maximum cooling, however,
continual operation in this mode may
cause the air inside the vehicle to
become stale.

If you don’t want the outside (fresh) air
position when operating in either of these
modes, you can turn off the system
operation by performing the following:
1. Make sure the engine is running or
the ignition switch is in the ON

2. Turn the fan speed control knob to
the “0” position.
3. Turn the mode selection knob to the
defrost ( ) position.
4. Push the air intake control button

seconds.
5. Then the indicator light on the air
intake control button ( ) will blink
3 times with 0.5 second intervals
between blinks.
If you want to return to the outside
(fresh) air position, repeat the procedure
above.

• Before driving, clear all snow and ice
from the windshield, rear window,
outside rear view mirrors, and all side

• Clear all snow and ice from the hood
and the air inlet in the cowl grille to
improve heater and defroster
efficiency and to reduce the
probability of fogging on the inside
of the windshield.

CAUTION
Do not use defrost position
during cooling operation in
extremely humid weather. The dif-
ference between the temperature of
the outside air and that of the
windshield could cause the outer
surface of the windshield to fog up,
causing loss of visibility. In this
case, set the mode selection knob to
the position and fan speed con-
trol knob to the lower speed.
