comfort, while reducing moisture on the windshield.
5. Front Defrost Mode Air is directed through the windshield and side
window demist outlets. Use DEFROST mode with

window. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on
the interior surface of the window. Use a soft cloth
and a mild washing solution, wiping parallel to

lation of dirt or insects. Clean with a gentle water spray
from behind the radiator and through the condenser.
