Manual Climate Control
NOTE: (Applies to Manual and Automatic Climate Control Systems)
With defroster and floor vents or windshield defroster mode, the system turns on
the A/C compressor and selects the FRESH AIR mode. This helps defrost the
windows more efficiently by dehumidifying the air. The A/C compressor will always
be on in defroster mode, but the defroster (and floor) will deliver warm air when the
temperature dial is set to a warmer temperature and the engine warms up.
