Operating tips
•
To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the
position.
•
To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
air flow selector in OFF or with recirculated air engaged.
•
Do not put objects under the front seats 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.
•
To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open
for 2–3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out.”
•
If you are driving during extreme high ambient temperatures and
idling for extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run
the A/C in the MAX A/C position, adjust the blower fan speed to the
lowest setting, turn off the rear A/C unit and put the vehicle’s
transmission into the P (Park) to continue to receive cool air from
your A/C system.
For maximum cooling performance:
•
Select and A/C and recirculated air. Use recirculated air with A/C to
provide a cooler airflow.
•
Move the temperature control to the coolest setting.
