Using these settings together for long periods of
time may cause the air inside of your vehicle
to become too dry. To prevent this from
happening, after the air in your vehicle has cooled,
turn the recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you may sometimes notice a small
amount of water dripping underneath your
vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity or moisture condensing on the cool
window glass. This can be minimized if the climate
control system is used properly. There are
two modes to clear fog or frost from your
windshield. Use the defog mode to clear the
windows of fog or moisture and warm the
passengers. Use the defrost mode to remove fog
or frost from the windshield more quickly.
For best results, clear all snow and ice from the
windshield before defrosting.
Select one of these available modes from the
right knob.
0
(Defog): This mode directs most of the air to
the windshield and the floor outlets. A small
amount of air is also directed to the outboard
outlets for the side windows and to the instrument
panel side outlets. When you select this mode,
the system runs the air-conditioning compressor.
To defog the windows faster, turn the temperature
control knob clockwise to the warmest setting.
1
(Defrost): This mode directs the air to
the windshield and the outboard outlets for the
side windows. A small amount of air is also
directed to the instrument panel side outlets. When
you select this mode, the system runs the
air-conditioning compressor. To defrost the
windows faster, turn the temperature control knob
clockwise to the warmest setting.
Do not drive the vehicle until all windows are
clear.
