Operating tips
•
In humid weather conditions, place the climate control system in
DEF before driving. This will reduce fogging on your windshield. Once
the windshield has been cleared, operate the climate control system as
desired.
•
To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather
conditions, do not drive with the climate control system in the OFF
position.
•
Ensure that your inside glass is kept clean. Dirty glass is significantly
more difficult to defrost, demist, etc.
