and the proper amount, type, and concentration of coolant is
used. Use of the Air Recirculation mode during Winter months
is not recommended, because it may cause window fogging.

Vacation/Storage
For information on maintaining the Climate Control system
when the vehicle is being stored for an extended period of

Window Fogging
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild, rainy,
and/or humid weather. To clear the windows, select
Defrost or Mix mode and increase the front blower speed.
Do not use the Recirculation mode without A/C for long
periods, as fogging may occur.
