Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•
Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.

A small amount of air may be felt from the floor vent regardless of the
air distribution setting that is selected.
During extreme high ambient temperatures when idling stationary for
extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run the A/C in

your A/C system.

set the temperature to 60°F (16°C).
2. A/C,
and
will be selected.
3. Fan speed will be determined by the vehicle’s internal temperature,
but can be adjusted as desired.
