Operating tips

• To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid weather,
select
(defrost).
• To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
system off, 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.
• To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out.” • A small amount of air may be felt from the floor vent regardless of the air distribution setting that is selected.
During extreme high ambient temperatures when idling stationary for extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run the A/C in the MAX A/C mode, reduce blower fan speed from the highest setting and put the vehicle’s transmission in P (Park) to continue to receive cool air from your A/C system.
