Vacation Storage

Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of service

(i.e., vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air

conditioning system at idle for about five minutes in the

fresh air and high blower settings. This will ensure

adequate system lubrication to minimize the possibility

of compressor damage when the system is started again.

Window Fogging

Interior fogging on the windshield can be quickly re-

moved by turning the mode selector to Defrost. The

Defrost/Floor mode can be used to maintain a clear

windshield and provide sufficient heating. If side win-

dow fogging becomes a problem, increase blower speed.

Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild but

rainy or humid weather.

NOTE: Recirculate without A/C should not be used for

long periods as fogging may occur.

Side Window Demisters

A side window demister outlet is located at each end of

the instrument panel. These non-adjustable outlets direct

air toward the side windows when the system is in the

FLOOR, MIX, or DEFROST mode. The air is directed at

the area of the windows through which you view the

outside mirrors.

Outside Air Intake

Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of the

windshield, is free of obstructions such as leaves. Leaves

collected in the air intake may reduce airflow, and if they

enter the plenum, they could plug the water drains. In

winter months, make sure the air intake is clear of ice,

slush, and snow.
