To Defrost

To remove frost or ice from the
windshield and side windows after
the car has been sitting out in cold
weather.
1. Start the engine.
2. Select the Recirculation mode
and
3. Set the fan and temperature
controls to maximum.
These settings direct all the air
flow to the defroster vents at the
base of the windshield and the side
window defroster vents. The air
flow will get warmer and clear the
windows faster as the engine
warms up. You can close the
corner vents by turning them 45°
clockwise. That will send more
warm air to the windshield
defroster vents.
For safety, make sure you have a
clear view through all the windows
before driving away.

To Turn Everything Off

To shut off the system temporarily,
turn the fan control dial off and
slide the temperature control levers
all the way to the left.
You should shut the system
completely off only for the first few
minutes of driving in cold weather,
until the engine coolant warms up
enough to operate the heater. Keep
the fan on at all other times so stale
air does not build up in the interior.
