Outlet Adjustment
Use the air outlets located in the center and on the sides of your instrument panel to direct the airflow.
Operation Tips
• Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice,
snow, or any other obstruction, such as
leaves. The heater and defroster will work far
better, reducing the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
• When you enter a vehicle in cold weather,
select maximum blower speed for a few
moments before driving. This helps clear the
intake ducts of snow and moisture, and
reduces the chance of fogging the inside of
your window.
• Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of objects. This helps air to circulate
throughout your vehicle.
• Adding outside equipment to the front of your
vehicle, such as hood-air deflectors, may
affect the performance of the heating and air
conditioning system. Check with your
dealer before adding equipment to the outside
of your vehicle.
