Window Fogging and Frosting
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside of the glass in

mild, rainy and/or humid weather. Windows may frost

on the inside of the glass in very cold weather. To clear

the windows, select Defrost or Mix mode and increase

the front blower speed. Do not use the Recirculation

mode without A/C for long periods, as fogging may

occur.
NOTE:

Automatic Temperature Controls (ATC) will au-

tomatically adjust the climate control settings to reduce

or eliminate window fogging on the front windshield.

When this occurs, recirculation will be unavailable.

Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of the

windshield, is free of obstructions such as leaves. Leaves

collected in the air intake may reduce airflow, can cause

odor, and if they enter the plenum they could plug the

water drains. In winter months, ensure the air intake is

clear of ice, slush and snow.
