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
sufficient heating. If side window fogging be-
comes a problem, increase blower speed. Ve-
hicle 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.
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 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 — 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 recircu-
lated air within the passenger compartment.
Refer to “Maintenance Procedures” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle” for A/C Air Filter service
information or see your authorized dealer for
service. Refer to “Maintenance Schedules” for
filter service intervals.
