Operation tips
• To keep dust or unpleasant fumes
from entering the vehicle through the
ventilation system, temporarily set
the air intake control to the recircula‐
ted air position. Be sure to return the
control to the fresh air position when
the irritation has passed to keep
fresh air in the vehicle. This will help
keep the driver alert and comforta‐
ble.
• Air for the heating/cooling system is
drawn in through the grilles just
ahead of the windshield. Care should
be taken that these are not blocked
by leaves, snow, ice or other obstruc‐
tions.
• To prevent interior fog on the wind‐
shield, set the air intake control to
the fresh air position and fan speed
to the desired position, turn on the
air conditioning system, and adjust
the temperature control to desired
temperature.
• If the windshield fogs up, set the
mode to the position.
CAUTION
Operating the blower when the
START/STOP button is in the ON po‐
sition could cause the battery to dis‐
charge. Operate the blower when
the vehicle is on.
