Standard Procedure - A/C Compressor Clutch Break-In

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

After a new compressor clutch has been installed, cycle the compressor clutch approximately twenty times (five seconds on, then five seconds off). During this procedure, set the a/c heater control to the recirculation mode (Max-A/C), the blower motor switch to the highest speed position, and the engine speed at 1500 to 2000 RPM. This procedure (burnishing) will seat the opposing friction surfaces and provide a higher compressor clutch torque capability.
