WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
 WARNING
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 button 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.
NOTICE
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.
