3-11 Ventilation System
Adjust the direction of airflow by moving the vents.
To completely shut off airflow to the outlet move the
thumbwheel down. To open the outlet for airflow move
the thumbwheel up.
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 air conditioning
fan is running.Ventilation Tips

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, set the
mode to FLOOR or LOWER and the fan to the
highest speed 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.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
