Window Fogging
Interior fogging on the windshield can be
quickly removed by turning the mode selector to
Defrost. The Defrost/Floor mode can be used to
maintain a clear windshield and provide suffi-
cient heating. If side window fogging becomes
objectionable, increase blower speed to improve
airflow and clearing of the side windows. Vehicle
windows tend to fog on the inside in mild but
rainy or humid weather.
NOTE:
• Recirculate without A/C should not be used for
long periods, as fogging may occur.
• Automatic Temperature Controls (ATC) will
automatically adjust the climate control set-
tings to reduce or eliminate window fogging
on the front windshield. When this occurs,
recirculation will be unavailable.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause
damage to the heating elements:
• Use care when washing the inside of the
rear window. Do not use abrasive window
cleaners on the interior surface of the
window. Use a soft cloth and a mild wash-
ing solution, wiping parallel to the heat-
ing elements. Labels can be peeled off
after soaking with warm water.
• Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments,
or abrasive window cleaners on the inte-
rior surface of the window.
• Keep all objects a safe distance from the
window.
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 ple-
num, 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
The climate control system filters outside air
containing dust, pollen and some odors. Strong
odors cannot be totally filtered out. Refer to
“Dealer Service” in “Servicing And Mainte-
nance” in your Owner’s Manual for filter re-
placement instructions.
WINDOWS
Power Windows
The power window controls are located on the
driver's door trim panel. There is a single switch
on the front passenger door and rear passenger
doors which operate the front and rear passen-
ger door windows. The window controls will
operate only when the keyless push button igni-
tion is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC position.
