Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction, such as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work far better, reducing the chance of
fogging the inside
of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, adjust
the mode knob to floor and the fan to the highest speed for a few moments before driving off. This
helps clear the intake ducts of snow and moisture
and reduces the chance of fogging the inside
of
your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of objects. This helps air circulate throughout
your vehicle.
0 To prevent circulation of outside air, press the
recirculation button.
This will close all outside vents.

off, the tape will begin playing. A tape symbol is shown
in the center of the graphic display whenever
a tape is
inserted. When a tape is active, the tape symbol will be
accompanied by a direction arrow.
