Manual Climate Control
• To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid weather, select
Defrost. You can also improve clearing by increasing the temperature

• To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
system off or with recirculated air engaged.
• Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of

slightly open for 2-3 minutes after start-up or until you have aired out
the vehicle.
• You may feel a small amount of air from the floor vent regardless of
the air distribution setting you select.
During extreme high ambient temperatures when idling stationary for extended periods in gear, run the air conditioning in the MAX A/C mode, adjust the blower fan speed to the lowest setting and put the vehicle’s transmission into position P (automatic transmission) to continue to receive cool air from your air conditioning system.

1. Move temperature control to the coolest setting.
2. Select A/C and recirculated air to provide colder airflow.
3. Set the fan to the highest speed initially, and then adjust to maintain
comfort.
