NOTE:

In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode may

lead to excessive window fogging. The Recirculation
mode is not allowed in the Defrost modes to improve
window clearing operation. Recirculation will be dis-
abled automatically if Defrost is selected.

Operating Tips

Window Fogging

Windows will fog on the inside when the humidity inside
the vehicle is high. This often occurs in mild or cool
temperatures when it’s rainy or humid. In most cases,
turning the air conditioning (pressing the A/C button) on
will clear the fog. Adjust the temperature control, air
direction, and blower speed to maintain comfort.

As the temperature gets colder, it may be necessary to
direct air onto the windshield. Adjust the temperature
control and blower speed to maintain comfort. Higher

blower speeds will reduce fogging. Interior fogging on
the windshield can be quickly removed by selecting the
Defrost mode.

Regular cleaning of the inside of the windows with a
non-filming cleaning solution (vinegar and water works
very well) will help prevent contaminates (cigarette
smoke, perfumes, etc.) from sticking to the windows.
Contaminates increase the rate of window fogging.

Summer Operation

NOTE:

In some cases during high temperature trailer

tow operation the Air Conditioning system performance
may be reduced. This is to help protect the engine from
overheating during the high load condition.
