A/C System Performance: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln Blackwood. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: When ambient temperatures exceed 100°F (38°C), do not run engine above normal idle speed. Otherwise, maintain engine speed at 1500 RPM.

Connect manifold gauge set to service valves. Start engine. Adjust climate control for maximum cooling by selecting MAX A/C operation and setting blower motor speed to maximum. Stabilize in-vehicle temperature at 70-80°F (21-27°C).
