Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction such as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work better, reducing the chance of
fogging your windows.
When you enter a vehicle with the standard system
in cold weather, select HEATER to supply air
through the floor outlets. Then turn the fan on high
for a few moments before driving away. This will
blow moist air from the intake outlets toward the
floor, not the windshield. It reduces the chance of
fogging your windows. If you have the electronic
system, the AUTO setting will do this for you.
Manual operation of the electronic system in the
HEAT mode will also supply air through the
floor outlets.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
When the engine idles for a long time, the exterior
temperature sensor may cause the system to blow air
that is too cool. Once the vehicle is moving again the
system will try to maintain the set temperature inside
your vehicle.When you start your vehicle and the EXT TEMP
display flashes (electronic system only) for some
time, the system may need repair. See your dealer.
Defogging and Defrosting
On cool, humid days, use DEFOG to keep the
windshield and side windows clear. Use DEFROST to
remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in
extremely humid or cold conditions.
If you have the standard system, use DEFOG and adjust
the fan speed to your comfort level. Use DEFROST
with the temperature toward the red area and the fan
control toward high.
If you have the electronic system, press the DEFOG
button and adjust the fan speed by pressing the fan
button up or down to your comfort level. If you select
DEFROST from AUTO, the system will control the fan
speed. Adjust the temperature to your comfort level by
pressing the TEMP up or down button
