•
To prevent humidity buildup inside the vehicle, don’t drive with the
climate control system in the OFF position.
•
DO NOT leave the DATC system in recirculated air mode for extended
periods of time while the system is in a heating mode or in cold or
damp conditions as this may cause interior fogging of the front, side
and rear windows.
•
Do not place objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the rear seats.
•
Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
•
If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot
weather, the air conditioner will do a much faster job of cooling if you
drive for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force
most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Then operate the air
conditioner as you would normally.
•
If the air conditioner works well with the recirculation feature on, but
not in the outside air mode, this may indicate that the cabin air filter
needs to be replaced.
•
Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can
block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield.
Also, avoid placing small objects on top of your instrument panel.
These objects can fall down into the defroster outlets and block
airflow and possibly damage your climate control system.
