WARNING: Under some weather conditions, use of the
recirculated air mode may lead to glass misting or fogging.
Switch the air conditioner on and select the fresh air mode.
Heated air can assist windscreen demisting.

Operating tips

To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the

position.

To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the
air flow selector in the O (OFF) position or place the fan control in
the recirculated air positions.

The A/C system will be activated automatically when switching the air
flow selector in the

or

position.

Under normal weather conditions, do not leave the air flow selector in
O (OFF) when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to
“breathe” using the outside air inlet vents.

Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.

Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.

To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:

1. Select A/C.

2. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.

3. Set the fan speed to the highest setting on the right for outside air.

4. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows.

To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.

WARNING: Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel
as these objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden
stop.
