When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, move the
fan lever toward HI for a few moments before
driving off. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow
and moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
Shut off outboard dash vents to keep cold air from
blowing in.
Defogging and Defrosting
Move the air intake lever to CIRCULATE and turn
the airflow knob to DEFROST to direct air to the
windshield vents. The air conditioner is automatically
turned on. Turn the temperature knob
to
the
right and the fan knob toward HI.
When the windshield
is
clear, turn down the fan speed.
To defog the windshield and side windows, turn
the aifflow knob to DEFROST.
Rear Window Defogger (Option)
The rear window defogger
uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the
rear window.
Press the switch to turn on the defogger. The defogger
will stay on for about 15 minutes, then it will shut off
automatically. You can also turn it off by pressing the
switch again. Use it only when the engine is running.
Make sure you turn the defogger off when the window
is
clear. Leaving the defogger on for a long time
could
cause the battery to run down, especially during
stop-and-go driving. The defogger is not designed for
drying water or melting snow.
Do not attach anything like a temporary vehicle license
or a decal across the defogger grid on the rear window.
