leaves to ensure unimpaired heating and cooling and to prevent the windows
misting over.•The air from the outlets flows through the passenger compartment and
out through the slots below the rear window. Therefore, do not cover these
slots with items of clothing or other objects.•The air conditioning system operates most effectively with the windows
