Condensation on the windows
Condensation may form on the windows if
they are colder than the ambient tempera-
ture and the air is very humid. Cold air can
absorb less moisture than warm air, which is
why condensation frequently forms on win-
dows in cold weather.
— Keep the air intake in front of the wind-
screen free of ice, snow and leaves in or-
der to improve heating and cooling per-
— Do not cover the air vents in the rear of
the luggage compartment. Ensuring they
are not covered will allow air to flow
