Poor visibility increases the risk of collisions and other accidents
that cause serious personal injuries.
Always make sure all windows are clear of ice, snow and
condensation for good visibility to the front, sides, and rear.
Maximum heating output and defrosting performance are not
possible until the engine has reached operating temperature.
Wait until you have good visibility before driving off.
Always make sure you know how to properly use the climate
control system as well as the rear window defroster that you
will need for good visibility.
Never use air recirculation for long periods of time. When the
air conditioner is off and recirculation mode is on,
condensation can quickly form on the windows and greatly
reduce visibility.
Always switch off recirculation mode when it is not needed.
