in mild or cool temperatures when it’s rainy or
humid. In most cases, turning the air condition-
ing (pressing the A/C button) on will clear the
fog. Adjust the temperature control, air direc-
tion, and blower speed to maintain comfort.
As the temperature gets colder, it may be
necessary to direct air onto the windshield.
Adjust the temperature control and blower
speed to maintain comfort. Higher blower
speeds will reduce fogging. Interior fogging on
the windshield can be quickly removed by
selecting the DEFROST mode.
Regular cleaning of the inside of the windows
with a non-filming cleaning solution (vinegar
and water works very well) will help prevent
contaminates (cigarette smoke, perfumes, etc.)
from sticking to the windows. Contaminates
increase the rate of window fogging.
Summer Operation
NOTE:
In some cases during high temperature
trailer tow operation the Air Conditioning
system performance may be reduced. This
is to help protect the engine from overheat-
ing during the high load condition.
Your air conditioning system is also equipped
with an automatic recirculation system. When
the system senses a heavy load or high heat
conditions, it may use partial Recirculation A/C
mode to provide additional comfort.
Winter Operation
When operating the system during the winter
months, make sure the air intake, located di-
rectly in front of the windshield, is free of ice,
slush, snow, or other obstructions.
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
setting. This will ensure adequate system lubri-
cation to minimize the possibility of compressor
damage when the system is started again.
