Defrosting or defogging
This mode directs the air to the defrost outlets to
defrost/defog the windows.
1. Press the defrost/defog button .
2. Turn the fan control dial to the desired posi-
tion.
3. Turn the temperature control dial to the de-
sired position between the middle and the
hot position.
● To quickly remove ice or fog from the win-
dows, turn the fan control dial to the highest
setting and the temperature control to the
full HOT position.
● When the position is selected, the air
conditioner automatically turns on (the indi-
cator light on the
button will come on)
if the outside temperature is more than 36°F
(2°C). This dehumidifies the air which helps
defog the windshield. The
mode au-
tomatically turns off, allowing outside air to
be drawn into the passenger compartment
to further improve the defogging perfor-
mance.
Bi-level heating

and center vents and to the front and rear floor
outlets.

2. Turn the fan control dial to the desired posi-
tion.
3. Turn the temperature control dial to the de-
sired position between the middle and the
hot position.
● When the
position is selected, the air
conditioner automatically turns on (however,
the indicator light on the
button will
not come on) if the outside temperature is
more than 36°F (2°C). If the
air flow
control button is selected for more than one
minute, the air conditioning system will con-
tinue to operate until the fan control dial is
turned to OFF, the vehicle is shut off, or the
A/C button is used to turn off the compres-
sor even if the air flow control dial is turned to
a position other than the
position.
This dehumidifies the air which helps defog
the windshield. The
mode automati-
cally turns off, allowing outside air to be
drawn into the passenger compartment to
further improve the defogging performance.
