Operation Tips
- To prevent dust or unpleasant fumes from entering the vehicle through the
ventilation system, temporarily set the air intake control to the recirculated
air position. Be sure to return the control to the fresh air position when the
dust or fumes has passed to keep fresh air in the vehicle. This will help keep
the driver alert and comfortable.
- Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn in through the grilles just
ahead of the windshield. Care should be taken that these are not blocked by
leaves, snow, ice or other obstructions.
- To prevent interior fog on the windshield, set the air intake control to
the fresh air position and fan speed to the desired position, turn on the air
conditioning system, and adjust the temperature control to the desired temperature.
