SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE:
Your vehicles’ heating and air conditioning system should be checked by a professional technician approximately every 12 months (check your owner’s manual for specific recommendations). Any related maintenance should be handled only by professionals.
Many technicians recommend running your air conditioning system regularly – even during the winter – because the system contains a PAG oil (R134a) or mineral oil (R12) in the refrigerant to keep the compressor properly lubricated. The general rule is to run the system about 10 minutes per month.

DID YOU KNOW:
If your engine begins overheating while driving in heavy traffic, the following steps can help alleviate the condition:
- Set the climate control system to “Heat” or “Vent”.
- Set the blower fan on “High” (roll down your windows if the interior becomes too warm).
- Allow more distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you; this enables more air to enter the radiator easily.
