I always had problems with spiders getting into my '94 EB. Now I have an '03 XLT and I'd like to avoid this happening again. I was never sure if they were getting into the car through the air vents or somewhere else. In my owner's manual (page 31 & 34) under "Climate Controls" and "Operating Tips", there is the following line: "Under normal weather conditions, do not leave the air flow selector in MAX A/C or OFF when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to "breathe" using the outside air inlet vents."
This seems backwards to me. If the selector is set for MAX, wouldn't the outside air inlets be closed instead of open? I'm trying to close up the possible inlet points to keep these little buggers OUT of my car. Does anybody here know if the OFF position (or MAX) will seal me off from the outside world....mostly?
