Sensors
Rear
Window Defogger
The solar sensor on your vehicle monitors the solar
radiation and the air inside
of
your vehicle, then uses the
information to maintain the selected temperature by
initiating needed adjustments to the temperature, the fan
speed and the air delivery system. The system may
also supply cooler air to the side of the vehicle facing the
sun. The recirculation mode will also be activated, as
necessary.
Do
not cover the solar sensor located in the
center of the instrument panel, near the windshield,
or the system will not work properly.
Defogging and Defrosting
This mode allows you to clear fog or frost from your
windshield.
9
FRONT
(Defrost): Pressing this button directs
most of the air to the windshield and the outboard outlets
(for the side windows), with some air directed to the
floor outlets. In this mode, the system will automatically
turn
off recirculation and run the air conditioning
compressor, unless the outside temperature is at or
below freezing. Recirculation cannot be selected while
in the
FRONT
defrost mode.
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
REAR:
Press this button to turn the rear window
defogger on or
off. Be sure to clear as much snow from
the rear window as possible.
At speeds above
35
mph
(55
km/h), the defogger
will operate continuously until you press the REAR
button again. After
10
minutes of driving below
35
mph
(55 km!h)j the defogger
will
turn
off
automatically.
If
you need additional warming time, push the button
again. The system will then operate for five minutes
before going
off
by itself.
If
your vehicle has heated outside rearview mirrors,
the mirrors will heat to help clear fog or frost from the
surface
of
the mirror when the rear window defogger
button is pressed.
