Note: Applies to Manual and Automatic Climate Control Systems: With any type
of defroster operation (even in the FLOOR mode where some air goes to defrost to keep
the windows defrosted), the system turns on the A/C and selects the FReSH AIR mode.
This helps defrost the windows more efficiently by dehumidifying the air. The A/C 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.
