Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield under the
hood).
If the vehicle has been parked
with the windows closed during hot
weather, the air conditioner will do
a much faster job of cooling if you
drive for two or three minutes with
the windows open. This will force
most of the hot, stale air out of the
vehicle.
When placing objects on top of
your instrument panel, be careful
to not place them over the
defroster outlets. These objects can
block the airflow and reduce your
ability to see through the
windshield. Also, avoid placing
small objects on top of your
instrument panel. These objects
can fall into the defroster outlets
and block airflow and possibly
damage your climate control
system.
Do not place objects on top
of the instrument panel, as
these objects may become
projectiles in a collision or sudden
stop.
