Automatic Defogging System

The automatic anti-fog system reduces the possibility of fogging on the inside of the windshield by automatically detecting humidity inside the windshield and may increase airflow toward the windshield.

The automatic anti-fog system operates when AUTO mode is on.

This indicator illuminates when the automatic anti-fog system detects moisture on the inside of the windshield and is activated.

If there is more moisture in the vehicle, the automatic anti-fog system removes excess moisture from the inside of the windshield in the following stages:

Step 1: A/C operation
Step 2: Fresh air position
Step 3: Direct airflow to the windshield
Step 4: Increase airflow to the windshield

If your vehicle is equipped with the automatic anti-fog system, it activates automatically when the conditions are met.

However, if you want to deactivate the automatic anti-fog system, press and hold the front windshield defroster button for more than 3 seconds.

The "ADS OFF" symbol will appear on the climate control display, indicating that the system is deactivated.

To reactivate the automatic anti-fog system, perform the procedure above and the "ADS OFF" symbol will disappear.

If the battery has been disconnected or discharged, the system resets to the default automatic defogging system status.

✽ NOTICE

• When the air conditioner is turned on by the automatic anti-fog system, if you try to turn off the air conditioner, the indicator flashes 3 times and the air conditioner does not turn off.
• For better efficiency, do not select recirculation mode while the automatic defogging system is operating.

CAUTION

Do not remove the sensor cover located at the top of the windshield on the driver's side. Damage to system components may occur and may not be covered under your vehicle warranty.
