Windshield heating
Do not use the position during cooling
operation in extremely humid weather.
The difference between the temperature
of the outside air and that of the
windshield could cause the outer surface
of the windshield to fog up, causing loss
of visibility could cause an accident
resulting in serious injury or death. In this
case, set the mode selection to the
position and fan speed control knob to a
lower speed.
• For maximum defrost performance, set
the temperature control to the highest
temperature setting and the fan speed
control to the highest setting.
• 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, side
view mirrors, and all side windows.
• 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.
If the engine temperature is still cold after
starting, then a brief engine warm up
period may be required for the vented air
flow to become warm or hot.
