In vehicles equipped with rear seat outlets, you can
adjust the airflow toward either seating area, the floor or
upward. Move the knob in the center of each outlet in
any direction to direct airflow. Increase or decrease the
amount of airflow from the upper outlets by adjusting
the lever between the two rear vents up or down to the
floor ducts.
Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction such as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work better, reducing the chance of
fogging your windows.
In cool damp weather, minimize your use
of recirculation to reduce the chance of fogging
your windows.
When you enter a vehicle with the standard system
in cold weather, select floor mode to supply air
through the floor ducts. Then turn the fan on high for
a few moments before driving away. This will blow
moist air from the intake outlets toward the floor, not
the windshield. It reduces the chance of fogging your
windows. If you have the electronic system, the
AUTO setting will do this for you. Manual operation
of the electronic system in the floor mode will also
supply air through the floor ducts.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
