Vents, Heating, and A/C

To clear the windows faster, you can close the dashboard corner vents by rotating the wheel next to each vent. This sends more warm air to the windshield defroster vents. Once the windshield is clear, select fresh air mode to avoid fogging the windows.

For your safety, make sure you have a clear view through all the windows before driving.

To Turn Everything Off Turning the fan speed control dial all the way to the left shuts the system off.

Keep the system off for short periods only.

To keep stale air and mustiness from collecting, you should have the fan running at all times.
