which warms up the engine coolant
when the engine is running. Air vents
Adjustable air vents
At least one air vent must be open
while
cooling is on in order to prevent
the evaporator from icing up due to
lack of air movement.
Air vents with adjuster wheel To open or close the vent, turn the
adjuster wheel.

cooling is not possible when outside
temperature is low.
Service
For
optimal cooling performance, it is
recommended that the climate control
system be checked annually, starting
three years after initial vehicle
registration.
