Operating tips
•
In humid weather, select
before driving. This will reduce fogging
on your windshield. After a few minutes, select any desired position.
•
To prevent humidity buildup inside the vehicle, don’t drive with the
climate control system in the OFF or MAX A/C position.
•
Don’t put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the rear seats (if equipped).
•
Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield under
the hood).
•
If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot
weather, the air conditioner will do a much faster job of cooling if you
drive for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force
most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Then operate your air
conditioner as you would normally.
•
Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can
block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield.
Also, avoid placing small objects on top of your instrument panel.
These objects can fall down into the defroster outlets and block
airflow and possibly damage your climate control system.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
Auxiliary A/C-heater controls (if equipped)
The auxiliary A/C-heater feature provides increased capacity to quickly
heat or cool the vehicle. Besides the driver’s control panel for the front
seat occupants, the second row auxiliary A/C-heater controls allow the
rear passengers to control the temperature in the rear of the vehicle
through a second control panel above the second row.
