GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 69
Window Fogging
Interior fogging on the windshield can be quickly
removed by turning the mode selector to
Defrost. The Defrost/Floor mode can be used to
maintain a clear windshield and provide suffi-
cient heating. If side window fogging becomes
objectionable, increase blower speed to
improve airflow and clearing of the side
windows. Vehicle windows tend to fog on the
inside in mild but rainy or humid weather.
NOTE:
Recirculate without A/C should not be used
for long periods, as fogging may occur.
Automatic Temperature Controls (ATC) will
automatically 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, and if they enter the
plenum, they could plug the water drains. In
Winter months, make sure the air intake is clear
of ice, slush, and snow.
A/C Air Filter
The climate control system filters outside air
containing dust, pollen and some odors. Strong
odors cannot be totally filtered out. Refer to
“Dealer Service” in “Servicing And Mainte-
nance” for filter replacement instructions.
Operating Tips Chart
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause
damage to the heating elements:
Use care when washing the inside of the
rear window. Do not use abrasive window
cleaners on the interior surface of the
window. Use a soft cloth and a mild
washing solution, wiping parallel to the
heating elements. Labels can be peeled off
after soaking with warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or
abrasive window cleaners on the interior
surface of the window.
Keep all objects a safe distance from the
window.
CAUTION!
Interior air enters the Rear Automatic
Temperature Control System through an
intake grille, located in the right side trim
panel behind the third row seats. The heater
outlets are located in the right side trim
panel, just behind the sliding door. Do not
block or place objects directly in front of the
inlet grille or heater outlets. The electrical
system cold overload causing damage to the
blower motor.
