Give a Thought to Your
Car Air Conditioner
For Best Results
The pleasures derived from •
owning an auto air conditioner
are many and varied, How- .
ever, 'as with an` mechanical,,
unit on your , there are
ways to -increase- satisfaction
and improve performance. The
Automotive Air ;Conditioning
Association offers these sug-
gestions on the care and serv-
ice of your car air conditioner.
Hot "Weather Hints
During hot summer days al-
ways
park in the shade — or
leave your windows open. Your
car will cool .down much
quicker if the interior doesn't
become super -heated. Parked
in the sun on a 90° day (with
windows closed) , the temper-
atures inside your car can soar
to a tremendous 140° — the
highest degree to which most
people are ever subjected.
Should the interior of your
car become super -heated, turn .
your air conditioner on "high"
and place the temperature
control at its highest setting.
' Drive a few blocks with all
windows rolled down. ' This
quickly removes hot air and
' permits quicker cooling. Air
must circulate through the
condenser coil before your
unit will function at maximum
efficiency, thus your car must
be moving ,for it to cool *op-
. erly.
When you park, remember
to turn your air conditioner off
— this makes starting your car
much easier.
• ' If unit doesn't cool, move
temperature control to .cold-
est setting: If cooling 'doesn't
occur then, turn unit off (to
avoid possible damage) . and
see your service man for a
checjc-up.
Sometimes ona long trip,
frost may form on:the cooling

a lack of cold air, since . frost
