Windshield washer fluid
Air conditioning system
If you do not use the air conditioner for a
long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain opti-
mum performance and durability of your air
conditioner, it needs to be run periodically.
Operate the air conditioner at least once a
month for one minute with the engine
idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil
and helps protect the internal components.

WARNING
Do not use radiator antifreeze in the

sprayed on the windshield, and also
can damage your vehicle’s paint.
