Operating tips
• To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place

the air flow selector in the

position.

• To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the

air flow selector in OFF or with recirculated air engaged.

• Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the

airflow to the rear seats.

• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of

the windshield.

• To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open

for 2–3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out.”

• If you are driving during extreme high ambient temperatures and

idling for extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run
the A/C in the MAX A/C position, adjust the blower fan speed to the
lowest setting, turn off the rear A/C unit and put the vehicle’s
transmission into the P (Park) to continue to receive cool air from
your A/C system.

For maximum cooling performance:
• Select and A/C and recirculated air. Use recirculated air with A/C to

provide a cooler airflow.

• Move the temperature control to the coolest setting.
