Side Window Demisters
A side window demister outlet is located at each end of

the instrument panel. These non-adjustable outlets direct

air toward the side windows when the system is in the

FLOOR, MIX, or DEFROST mode. The air is directed at

the area of the windows through which you view the

outside mirrors.
Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of the

windshield, is free of obstructions such as leaves. Leaves

collected in the air intake may reduce airflow, and if they

enter the plenum, they could plug the water drains. In

winter months, make sure the air intake is clear of ice,

slush, and snow.

A/C Air Filter — If Equipped
The A/C Filter prevents most dust and pollen from

entering the cabin. The filter acts on air coming from

outside the vehicle and recirculated air within the pas-

senger compartment. Refer to “Maintenance Procedures”

in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for A/C Air Filter service

information or see your authorized dealer for service.

Refer to “Maintenance Schedules” in “Maintaining Your

Vehicle” for filter service intervals.
