Operating tips
• In humid weather, place the climate control
system in before driving. This will reduce
fogging on your windshield. Once the windshield
has been cleared, operate the climate control
system as desired.
• To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in
cold weather conditions, do not drive with the
climate control system in the OFF or MAX A/C
position.
• To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in
warm weather conditions, do not drive with the
climate control system in the OFF position.
• Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle’s
climate control system should be left in any
position other than MAX A/C or OFF when the
vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to
“breathe” through the outside air inlet duct.
• Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, your
vehicle’s climate control system should be left in
the OFF position when the vehicle is parked. This
allows the climate control system to be free from
contamination of outside pollutants.
• If your vehicle has been parked with the windows
closed during warm weather conditions, the air
conditioner will perform more efficiently in
