Operation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice,
snow, or any other obstruction, such as leaves.
The heater and defroster will work better, reducing
the chance of fogging the inside of the windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
the vehicle.
Adding outside equipment to the front of the
vehicle, such as hood-air deectors, etc., may affect
the performance of the heating and air conditioning
system. Check with your dealer/retailer before
adding equipment to the outside of the vehicle.
