Did You Know?
◾ You will get better gas mileage if you keep your windows up and A/C on rather than windows down and A/C off.
◾ Your air conditioning unit has a dehumidifier which pulls heat and moisture out of your vehicle cabin.
◾ An A/C unit can fail if the freon inside is just an ounce or two too high or too low.
◾ A certified air conditioning technician at your local service center can empty the freon from your vehicle, weigh it, filter it and return it to your vehicle with any adjustments needed.
◾ Your car uses the A/C in winter to remove moisture from your vehicle in defrost mode.
