76 Instruments and controls Formation of ice and mist in extremes of weather It is only in the most extreme conditions that icing and misting of window glass are likely to be a problem, e.g. in torrential rain or severe cold coupled with high relative humidity, or when passengers are perspiring heavily or wearing wet clothes. The following measures are recommended if such problems should occur: 1 Select AUTO and 70°F (21°C) for both temperature zones. 2 Select Defroster. If this is not enough...3 Increase the fan speed. If this is not enough...4 Select a higher temperature. The following measures are recommended if the occupants feel that it is cold and drafty in the car: 1 Make sure that all the air vents are fully open, including the center rear vent. If this is not enough...2 Direct the air flow away from the body. If this is not enough...3 Raise the temperature setting a degree or two. If this is not enough...4 Lower the fan speed. Condensation When the A/C system is running, the intake air is dehumidified, and the resultant condensation is drained off through two outlets underneath the floor of the car, in the vicinity of the front doors. It is therefore perfectly normal for water to be seen dripping from these outlets when the car is parked. Greater amounts of condensation will result in warmer, more humid ambient air.
