Controls and features • Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield. Also, avoid placing small objects on top of your instrument panel. These objects can fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow and possibly damage your climate control system. • To get maximum heating performance from the second row floor vents (located under the front row seats), place the front mode selector (floor) position and set the fan speed to its highest control in the setting. • If the air conditioner works well in MAX A/C, but not in any other mode when the A/C control is selected, this may indicate that the passenger compartment air filter (if equipped) needs to be replaced. To aide in side window defogging: 1. Select (Panel and Floor) 2. Set the temperature control to full heat 3. Select A/C 4. Set the fan speed to High 5. Direct the outer panel vents towards the side windows 6. To increase airflow to the outer panel vents, close the central panel vents.
