Winter Operation
To ensure the best possible heater and defroster
performance, make sure the engine cooling system
is functioning properly and the proper amount,
type, and concentration of coolant is used. Use of
the Air Recirculation mode during Winter months is
not recommended, because it may cause window
fogging.
Vacation/Storage
Before you store your vehicle, or keep it out of
service (i.e., vacation) for two weeks or more, run
the air conditioning system at idle for about five
minutes, in fresh air with the blower setting on high.
This will ensure adequate system lubrication to
minimize the possibility of compressor damage
when the system is started again.
Window Fogging
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild,
rainy, and/or humid weather. To clear the windows,
select Defrost or Mix mode and increase the front
blower speed. Do not use the Recirculation mode
without A/C for long periods, as fogging may
occur.

CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause dam-
age to the heating elements:
• Use care when washing the inside of the rear
window. Do not use abrasive window clean-
ers on the interior surface of the window. Use
a soft cloth and a mild washing solution,
wiping parallel to the heating elements. La-
bels can be peeled off after soaking with
warm water.
• Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or
abrasive window cleaners on the interior sur-
face of the window.
• Keep all objects a safe distance from the
window.
Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of
the windshield, is free of obstructions, such as
leaves. Leaves collected in the air intake may reduce
airflow, and if they enter the plenum, they could
plug the water drains. In Winter months, make sure
the air intake is clear of ice, slush, and snow.
Cabin Air Filter
The climate control system filters out dust and pol-
len from the air. Contact an authorized dealer to
service your cabin air filter, and to have it replaced
when needed.
