Turn the left knob clockwise or

compressor to operate.

#
(Air Conditioning):
Press this button to turn
the air-conditioning system on or off. When it is
pressed, an indicator light in the button will come on
to let you know that air conditioning is activated.
You may notice a slight change in engine
performance when the air conditioning compressor
shuts off and turns on again. This is normal.
The system is designed to make adjustments to
help with fuel economy while still maintaining
the selected temperature.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside
air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce
the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down.
It also helps the system to operate more efficiently.
