To reduce humidity buildup within the cabin, do not drive with the
selector in the OFF or MAX A/C position when outside temperature is
below 40°F (3°C).
•
To improve A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open for
the first 2–3 minutes after starting the vehicle or until the vehicle has
“aired out.”
•
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.

Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
