²Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield under
the hood).
²Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can
block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield.

These objects can fall down into the defroster outlets and block
airflow and possibly damage your climate control system.

setting.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
