the fan to highest blower setting.
•To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open
for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out.”
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.

dash, blow out a small amount of airflow when in
(floor),
(floor/defrost), and(defrost) modes. This also reduces side
window fogging.
•Do not place items over the
climate temperature sensor grid.
This may cause improper
operation of the system.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select
.
2. Ensure that recirculation is disengaged.
3. Set the temperature control to full heat.
