Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Ventilation System
For mild outside temperatures, when little heating or
cooling
is needed, you can still direct outside air through
your vehicle.
Move the air intake lever to CIRCULATE and the aifflow lever to
BI-LEVEL. Adjust the temperature
control lever
to a comfortable setting and move the fan
control lever toward the fan symbol.
Your vehicle’s flow-through ventilation system supplies outside air into the vehicle when it is moving. Outside
air will also enter the vehicle when the fan is running
and the air intake lever is at
CIRCULATE.
Your vehicle has air outlets that allow you to adjust the
direction and mount of airflow inside the vehicle.
Move the louvers up or down to direct airflow to your preference. Increase
or reduce the amount of airflow by
opening and closing the louvers.

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or any
other obstruction (such
as leaves). The heater and
defroster will work far better, reducing the chance of
fogging the inside
of your windows.
When
you enter a vehicle in cold weather, move the fan
control lever toward the fan symbol for a few moments
before driving
off. This helps clear the intake ducts of
snow and moisture, and reduces the chance
of fogging
the inside
of your windows. The
rear window defogger
uses
a warming grid to
remove fog from the
rear window.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects.
This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle.
Defogging and Defrosting
Slide the air intake lever to CIRCULATE and the
airflow lever to DEFROST to direct air to the
windshield vents. Then slide the temperature control
lever toward
the right and the fan lever toward the fan
symbol. When the windshield is clear, turn down the
fan speed. Press the switch to turn on the defogger. An indicator
light will come on below the switch to remind you that
the defogger is on. Press the switch again to turn the
defogger
off. The rear window defogger will also turn
off if you turn the ignition switch to ACC or LOCK, but
will turn back on when the ignition is turned back on.
Do not attach anything like a temporary vehicle license
or a decal across the defogger grid on the rear window.

Don't use a razor blade or something else sharp on the inside
of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs wouldn't be covered
by your warranty.
