Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high humidity
(moisture) condensing on the cool window glass. This
can be minimized
if
the climate control system
is
used properly. You can use either defog or front defrost
to
clear fog or frost from your windshield.

to
clear the windows of fog
or moisture. This setting will deliver air

(Front Defrost): Press the front defrost button
to
defrost the windshield. The system will automatically
control the fan speed
if
you select defrost from AUTO
mode. If the outside temperature is
40°F
(4°C) or warmer,
your air conditioning compressor will automatically run
to
help dehumidify the air and dry the windshield. Do not
drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
