Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make
the inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur.
Extended use of this mode is not recommended. On
systems with Manual Climate Controls, the Recircula-
tion mode (if equipped) is not allowed in Defrost mode
to improve window clearing operation. Recirculation is
disabled automatically if this mode is selected. Attempt-
ing to use Recirculation while in this mode causes the
LED on the control button to blink and then turn off.
Front Defrost Button
Press and release the Front Defrost button
to change the current airflow setting to
Defrost mode. The indicator illuminates
when this feature is on. Air comes from the
windshield and side window demist outlets. When the
defrost button is selected, the blower level may
increase. Use Defrost mode with maximum tempera-
ture settings for best windshield and side window
defrosting and defogging. Performing this function will
cause the Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) to
switch into manual mode. If the Front Defrost mode is
turned off the climate system will return the previous
setting.
Rear Defrost Button
Push and release the Rear Defrost Control
button to turn on the rear window defroster
and the heated outside mirrors (if equipped).
An indicator will illuminate when the rear
window defroster is on. The rear window defroster auto-
matically turns off after 15 minutes.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to
the heating elements:
•
Use care when washing the inside of the rear win-
dow. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on the
interior surface of the window. Use a soft cloth and
a mild washing solution, wiping parallel to the
heating elements. Labels can be peeled off after
soaking with warm water.
•
Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abra-
sive window cleaners on the interior surface of the

matically exit this feature. Pressing SYNC on the touch-
