The automatic climate control only operates with the engine running. The temperature selector should be left at the desired temperature setting. The temperature selected is reached as quickly as possible. The system will not heat or cool any quicker by setting a higher or lower temperature. The automatic climate control removes considerable moisture from the air during operation in the cooling mode. It is normal for water to drip on the ground through ducts in the underbody. Important! This vehicle is equipped with an air conditioner system that uses R-134a (HFC: hydrofluorocarbon) as a refrigerant. Repairs should always be performed by a qualified technician, and refrigerant should be collected in a recovery system for recycling.
