When starting the vehicle in cold weather a more efficient way to heat the passenger compartment is to do the following.

  • Turn off or lower the blower, right after starting the engine.

  • Engine temperature is still low and the air flow from the heater is still cold.

  • After a few minutes of engine warm up, turn on or set the fan to a higher level and with adjust the temperature setting to hot.

NOTICE

If the engine temperature is still cold after starting, then a brief engine warm up period may be required for the vented air flow to become warm or hot.
