Vents and Heating
The outside air intakes for the
climate control system are at the
base of the windscreen. Keep this
area clear of leaves and other debris.
The system should be left in fresh
air mode under almost all conditions.
Keeping the system in recirculation
mode can cause the windows to fog
up.
Switch to recirculation mode when
driving through dusty or smoky
conditions, then return to fresh air
mode.
