Operating Tips
• Do not put objects under the
front seats that will interfere with
airflow to the back seats.
• Do not place objects on top of
your instrument panel. These
objects can block air flow or fall into
the defroster outlets and possibly
damage your climate control
system. Objects placed on top of
your instrument panel can also
reduce your ability to see through
the windshield.
• Remove snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area (located at the
bottom of the windshield under the
hood).
• If the vehicle has been parked
with the windows closed during hot
weather, the air conditioning will do
a much faster job of cooling if you
drive for a few minutes with the
windows open. This will force most
of the hot, stale air out of the
vehicle.
• Clean the inside and outside of
the windows periodically with a
clean, soft cloth. This will remove
the dirt film that can absorb
moisture and increase window
fogging.
