the vehicle using outside air. To improve air conditioning when starting
your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly open for two to three
minutes.
Use air conditioning with recirculated air to improve cooling performance

J. Defrost: Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and
demister vents. You can also use this setting to defog and clear the
windshield of a thin covering of ice.
GENERAL OPERATING TIPS
• To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid weather,
select defrost. Temperature and fan speed can also be increased to
improve clearing.
• To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
system off or with recirculated air engaged.
• 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.
• To improve the air conditioning cool down, drive with the windows
slightly open for 2-3 minutes after start-up or until the vehicle has
been aired out.
• A small amount of air may be felt from the floor vent regardless of
the air distribution setting that is selected.
