ments, or abrasive window cleaners on
the interior surface 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.
A/C Air Filter
The climate control system filters outside air
containing dust, pollen and some odors.
Strong odors cannot be totally filtered out.
Refer to "Dealer Service" in "Servicing and
Maintenance" in your Owner's Manual for
filter replacement instructions.
