Ventilation System Operating Tips

~1min read

After the vehicle has been parked in the sun for a long time, open the windows before turning on the air conditioner.

The air conditioner can be used to remove condensation from the windows during rain or in high humidity.

It is recommended to run the air conditioning system at least once a week (including in winter or when the air conditioner is used infrequently).

This is necessary to lubricate the compressor and seals and extend the service life of the system.

Driving in heavy traffic may reduce air conditioning efficiency.

The A/C compressor does not operate when the fan speed control knob is in the OFF position.

If the vehicle is equipped with an air conditioner filter, it requires appropriate maintenance. See “AIR CONDITIONER FILTER”. This filter removes dust and other airborne particles entering the passenger compartment from outside.
