Turn on the air conditioning to im-

sufficient cooling may occur because of
stopping and slowing down of the car.

• When the air conditioning system is not


being used for a month or more, you
must run the engine at idle and turn the
system on for a few minutes once each
week, even during winter months. This
will keep the compressor and seals prop-
erly lubricated and will prolong the ser-
vice life of the system.
