ducts. It can be used to clear ice
or fog from the windshield.
Operating tips
• In humid weather, select
before driving. This will
help to prevent your windshield
from fogging. After a few
minutes, select any desired
position.
• To prevent humidity buildup
inside the vehicle, don’t drive
with the climate control system
in the OFF position.
• Don’t put objects under the
front seat that will interfere with
the airflow to the back seats.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield under
the hood).
• When placing objects on top of
your instrument panel, be
careful to not place them over
the defroster outlets. These
objects can block airflow and
reduce your ability to see
through your windshield. Also,
avoid placing small objects on
top of your instrument panel.
These objects can fall down into
the defroster outlets and block
airflow and possibly damage
your climate control system.
