Condensation may drip out from under-
neath the vehicle. This is normal and
not an indication of a malfunction.

climate control panel starts to blink,
this indicates that the air conditioning
is losing refrigerant. The compressor
has turned itself off. The air condition-
ing cannot be turned on again.
