Defogging
The inside of the windshield
For best results, set controls to:Fan speed— Any setting except “OFF”
Temperature— Towards red zone to heat;
blue zone to cool
Air intake—FRESH (outside air)
Air flow—WINDSHIELD
Turning the air flow control knob to wind-
shield position turns on the defroster −
linked air conditioning. This is to clean up
the front view more quickly.
When the “A/C” button is not pressed in,
turning the air flow control knob to a posi-
tion other than windshield or floor/wind-
shield turns off the air conditioning.
On humid days, do not blow cold air
on the windshield—the difference be-
tween the outside and inside tempera-
tures could make the fogging worse. Defrosting

from entering the vehicle through the air
conditioning vent.
SZ72004
The air conditioning filter is behind the
glove box.The air conditioning filters may clog
after long use. The filters may need to
be replaced if the air flow of the air
conditioning and heater experiences ex-
treme reductions in operating efficiency,
or if the windows become to fog up
easily in FRESH mode.
To maintain the air conditioning efficiency,
replace the air conditioning filters accord-
ing to the maintenance schedule. In dusty
areas or areas with heavy traffic flow,
such as inner city or desert areas, early
replacement may be required. (For sched-
uled maintenance information, please refer
