As suggested make sure the drain is not stopped up. If there is a lot of
moisture in the vehicle be it from wet carpet (rain or snow) it will take
awhile to get the moisture out. But if the windows are still damp inside
after the engine coolant is at operating temps and the moisture is still
in
the vehicle there is something wrong. Make sure the RECIRC door is
working.
If the recirc door is closed, it will take a long time to get the moisture
out. It wouldn't hurt to do a recalibration on the system.
With the vehicle at room temperature (Garage) 10°-27° C. (50° to 80° F.),
Disconnect the battery

 for ten minutes to erase DTCs.

2. Reconnect the battery and start the vehicle, this will initiate the
HVAC
system calibration.

Allow approximately five minutes for the calibration to complete.

3. Operate the vehicle and HVAC system to verify that Symptoms and/or DTCs
are gone.
