Do

not use

recirculated

when

defogging

the windows.

•

activate

the

air

conditioning

Use

of the air conditioning

system

is

the

most

effective

technique

for

dehumidifying

and reducing

fogging/misting

of the windows.

•

Additional

ways to reduce

window

fogging

include:

Select

and

adjust

the registers

to blow

along

the

windows.

Increase

the

blower

speed. This reduces

moisture

by

increasing

the

air

flow

rate.

Increase

the temperature

setting.

This will

warm

up

the

glass

and

reduce fogging/misting

of

the

windows.

•

Before

turning the vehicle off,

turn

off

the air conditioning,

select

fan

speed

4

and allow the

system to

operate

at this speed for

a

few

minutes.

This

will

help

reduce

any

fogging

that may

occur

the

next

time

the

vehicle is started.

Do not

place

objects

on

top

of

the instrument

panel, as

these

objects

may

become

projectiles

in a

collision

or

sudden

stop.
