GENERAL OPERATING TIPS

General Hints

Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to fog
up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of air from the footwell air vents
regardless of the air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside your vehicle, do not drive with
the system switched off or with recirculated air always switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front seats as this may interfere
with the airflow to the rear seats.
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the
base of the windshield.
Note: To improve the time to reach comfort in hot weather, drive with
the windows slightly open for 2-3 minutes after start-up or until your
vehicle airs out.
Manual Climate Control
Note: To reduce fogging of the windshield during humid weather, adjust
the air distribution control to the windshield air vents position.

Automatic Climate Control

Note: Adjusting the settings when your vehicle interior is extremely hot
or cold is not necessary. The system automatically adjusts to heat or cool
the cabin to your selected temperature as quickly as possible. For the
system to function efficiently, the instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.
Note: If you select AUTO during cold outside temperatures, the system
directs airflow to the windshield and side window vents. In addition, the
fan may run at a slower speed until the engine warms up.
Note: If you select AUTO during hot outside temperatures, or when the
inside of the vehicle is hot, the system automatically uses recirculated air
to maximize interior cooling. When the interior reaches the selected
temperature, the system automatically switches to using outside air.
