Heating
On cold days, use FLOOR with the temperature knob all
the way in the red area. The system will bring in outside
air,
heat it and send it to the floor ducts.
Your vehicle has heat ducts that are directed toward the
rear seat. Keep the area under the front seats clear
of
obstructions so the heated air can reach the rear
seat passengers.
If
your vehicle has an engine coolant heater, you can use
it to help your system provide warm
air
faster when it’s
cold outside (0°F
(-
18
O
C) or lower). An engine coolant
heater warms the coolant your engine and heating
system use to provide heat. See “Engine Coolant
Heater” in the Index.
Defogging and Defrosting Windows
Your system has two settings for clearing the front and
side windows. For each setting, adjust the temperature
control as desired.
To
defrost the windows quickly, rotate the temperature
control
knob
all the way in the red area. Use
DEFROST and adjust the fan to the highest speed.
To warm passengers while keeping the windows clean,
use DEFOG.
Your vehicle is equipped with side window defogger
vents. The side window defogger vents are located on
the outside of the side instrument panel vents. For
additional side window defogging, rotate the mode
control to VENT, rotate the
fan
control to the highest
speed, press A/C and aim the side vents on the
instrument panel to the windows. For increased airflow
to the side windows, close the center vents.
RECIRCULATION will not work in DEFROST and
DEFOG. This is done to prevent recirculation of humid
inside air and allow the system to work properly.
