AIR CONDITIONING

(c) Operating tips
To help cool down the interior after parking in the hot
sun, drive for the first few minutes with the windows
open. After the excess heat has blown away, close
the windows.
Make sure the air inlet grilles in front of the windshield
are not blocked by leaves or other obstructions.
If air flow control is not satisfactory, check the
dashboard vents. (See ªSide ventsº.)
On humid days, do not blow cold air on the
windshield. The windshield could fog up because of
the difference in air temperature on the inside and
outside of the windshield.
Keep the area under the front seats clear to allow air
to circulate throughout the vehicle.
On cold days, push the fan speed selector to adjust
the fan speed high for a minute to help clear the intake
ducts of snow or moisture. This can reduce the
amount of fogging on the windows.
When driving on dusty roads, close all windows. If
dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the
vehicle after closing the windows, it is recommended
that the air intake control button be left to the
OUTSIDE AIR mode and the fan speed control button
be pressed to anywhere except the ªOFFº button.
If following another vehicle on a dusty road, or driving
in windy and dusty conditions, it is recommended that
the air intake control button be temporarily pressed in
to the RECIRCULATED AIR mode, which will close
off the outside passage and prevent outside air and
dust from entering the vehicle interior.
