The air conditioning system will only operate with the engine running. To prevent the battery from being discharged while the engine is off, do not leave the Blower Control Knob on for extended periods of time. To improve system efficiency, clear all obstructions (leaves, snow and ice) from the hood and the air inlet in the grille.
Use the air conditioning system to defog the windows and dehumidify the air. Recirculation mode should be used when driving through tunnels, while in a traffic jam, or when you would like to quickly cool the interior. Use the outside air position for ventilation or windshield defrosting.
If the vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight during hot weather, open the windows to let warm air escape, and then run the air conditioning system.
