selected. However, the air conditioning will only function if the outside

during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under
the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you
have stopped the vehicle.
Under normal conditions, your vehicle’s climate control system should be

from the instrument panel registers. This mode can also be used to
