— Operating tips
To cool off your vehicle after it has been
parked in the hot sun, drive with the win-
dows open for a few minutes. After the ex-
cess heat has blown away, close the win-
dows. This vents the hot air, allowing the
air conditioning to cool the interior more
quickly.
Make sure the air intake grilles in front of
the windshield are not blocked (by leaves
or snow, for example).
If air flow control is not satisfactory, check
the side vents. (See “(e) Side vents”.)
On humid days, do not blow cold air on the
windshield. The windshield could fog up
because of the difference in air tempera-
ture on the inside and outside of the wind-
shield.
Keep the area under the front seats clear
to allow air to circulate throughout the ve-
hicle.
On cold days, set the fan speed to high for
a minute to help clear the intake ducts of
snow or moisture. This can reduce the
amount of fogging on the windows.
When driving on dusty roads, close all win-
dows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is
still drawn into the vehicle after closing the
windows, it is recommended that the air in-
take control button be set to the FRESH
mode to take in the fresh air and the fan
speed selector to any setting except OFF.
If following another vehicle on a dusty
road, or driving in windy and dusty condi-
tions, it is recommended that the air intake
be temporarily set to the RECIRCULATED
mode, which will close off the outside pas-
sage and prevent outside air and dust
from entering the vehicle interior.
