The flow-through ventilation system
draws in outside air, circulates it
through the interior, then exhausts it
through vents near the rear window.
Turn the temperature control dial
all the way to the left.
Select
and Fresh Air mode.
Set the fan to the desired speed.
The outside air intakes for the
heating system are at the base of the
windshield. Keep these clear of
leaves and other debris.
This section covers how to set up the
system controls for ventilation,
heating, and defrosting.
The engine must be running for the
heater to generate hot air. The
heater uses engine coolant to warm
the air. If the engine is cold, it will be
several minutes before you feel
warm air coming from the system.
The air conditioning does not rely on
engine temperature.
It is best to leave the system in Fresh
Air mode under almost all conditions.
Keeping the system in Recirculation
mode can cause the windows to fog
up. Switch to Recirculation mode
when you are driving through smoky
or dusty conditions, then switch back
to Fresh Air mode when the
condition clears.
