WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
• For maximum defrosting, set the tem-
perature control to the extreme
right/hot position and the fan speed
control to the highest speed.
• If warm air to the floor is desired while
defrosting or defogging, set the mode
to the floor-defrost position.
• Before driving, clear all snow and ice
from the windshield, rear window, out-
side rear view mirrors, and all side win-
dows.
• Clear all snow and ice from the hood
and air inlet in the cowl grill to improve
heater and defroster efficiency and to
reduce the probability of fogging up the
inside of the windshield.
✽ ✽ NOTE
Be sure to keep the interior surface of the
windshield clean by wiping it with a clean
cloth and glass cleaner. This will help
reduce the tendency of the glass fogging
and also improve visibility.
