the air flow selector in the (defrost) or (floor/defrost)
position.
• To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
air flow selector in the O (OFF) position or with (recirculated
air) engaged and A/C off.
• Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.

for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out.”
