Ventilation System Your vehicle's flow-through ventilation system always allows filtered outside air to flow through your vehicle when it is moving, even when the system is off. The direction of the air can be controlled by adjusting or closing the outlets in the instrument panel. Turn the control between the rear outlets up to direct air through the upper outlets. Turn the control down to direct air through the lower outlets. Adjust the direction of airflow from side to side with the controls in each outlet. Turn the thumbwheel between the front outlets to open and close the outlets. Adjust the direction of airflow from side to side with the controls in each outlet. Ventilation Tips D Keep the hood and front air inlet area between the base of the windshield and the hood free of ice, snow, or any other obstruction (such as leaves). The defroster and heater will work far better, reducing the chance of fogging the inside of your windows, if this area is clear. D Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle. 3-9
