Windshield Defrosting and Defogging

WARNING

Windshield Defroster

Do not use the or position during cooling operation in extremely humid weather. The difference between the outside air temperature and the windshield may cause fogging on the outside surface of the windshield, resulting in loss of visibility. In this case, set the mode selection to the position and the fan speed control to a lower speed.

• For maximum defrosting, turn the temperature control knob fully clockwise to the maximum (hot) setting and the fan speed control to the maximum speed.
• If warm air to the floor is required while defrosting or defogging, set the mode to the floor defrost position.
• Before driving, clear snow and ice from the windshield, rear window, outside rearview mirrors, and all side windows.
• Remove all snow and ice from the hood and the hood air intake grille to improve heater and defroster efficiency and reduce the possibility of fogging on the inside of the windshield.
