Climate Controls
During periods of high humidity, vapor may be emitted from the air
outlets when using the A/C system with outside air. This can be
corrected by using MAX A/C to cool the vehicle.
Rear seat heating
Rear seat heating is provided through the floor ducts located under the
front seats. Airflow and temperature to the rear seating are regulated by
the main climate control system.
Operating tips
• In humid weather, select
reduce fogging on your windshield. Once the windshield has been
cleared, operate the climate control system as desired.
• To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather
conditions, do not drive with the climate control system in the OFF or
MAX A/C position.
• To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in warm weather
conditions, do not drive with the climate control system in the OFF
position.
• Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle's climate control
system should be left in any position other than MAX A/C or OFF
when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to "breathe"
through the outside air inlet duct.
• Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, your vehicle's climate
control system should be left in the OFF position when the vehicle is
parked. This allows the climate control system to be free from
contamination of outside pollutants.
• If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during warm
weather conditions, the air conditioner will perform more efficiently in
cooling the vehicle if driven for two or three minutes with the
windows open. This will force most of the hot, stale air out of the
vehicle. Once the vehicle has been "aired out", operate the climate
control system as desired.
