²To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle, don't drive with the
climate control system in the OFF position.
²Don't put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the second row seat floor ducts.
²Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield).
²If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot
weather, the air conditioner will do a much faster job of cooling if you
drive for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force
most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Then operate the air
conditioner as you would normally.
²When placing objects on top of your instrument panel, be careful to
not place them over the defroster outlets. These objects can block
airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield. Also,
avoid placing small objects on top of your instrument panel. These
objects can fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow and
possibly damage your climate control system.
²If the air conditioner works well in MAX A/C, but not in any other
mode when the A/C control is selected, this may indicate that the
passenger compartment odor and particulate air filter (if equipped)
needs to be replaced.
To aide in defogging/demisting (removing condensation on the inside of
the windshield) in cool weather:
1. Select
(Panel and Floor)
2. Set the temperature control to full heat
3. Select A/C
4. Set the fan speed to HI
5. Direct the outer panel vents towards the side windows
6. To increase airflow to the outer panel vents, close the central panel
vents.
