Auto defogging system
OIK053046L
Auto defogging helps reduce the
possibility of fogging up the inside of the
windshield by automatically sensing the
moisture on inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is on.
The auto defogging system may not
operate normally, when the outside
temperature is below 14 °F (-10 °C).
When the Auto Defogging System
operates, the indicator will illuminate.
If a high amount of humidity is detected in
the vehicle, the Auto Defogging System
will be enabled. The following steps will
be performed automatically:
1. Operating the air conditioning.
2. Outside air position.
3. Blowing air flow toward the windshield.
4. Increasing air flow toward the
windshield (Step could be changed
according to the outside temperature).
If the air conditioning is off or
recirculation mode is manually selected
while Auto Defogging System is ON, the
Auto Defogging System indicator will
blink 3 times to signal that the manual
operation has been canceled.
