Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of the 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. There are two modes to
clear fog or frost from your windshield.
Use the mode up and down arrows to select the
defog or defrost modes.
- (Defog): The defog mode is used to clear
the windows of fog or moisture and warm
the passengers. This mode directs air to the
windshield, floor outlets, and side window vents.
When you select this mode, the system turns
off recirculation and runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is
close to freezing. The recirculation mode cannot
be selected while in the defog mode. Do not drive
the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
0 (Defrost): Press this button to remove fog or
frost from the windshield more quickly. This mode
directs a portion of the air to the windshield and
side window vents and some to the floor vents.
In this mode, the system will automatically force
outside air into your vehicle. The recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in the defrost mode.
The air conditioning compressor will run
automatically in this setting, unless the outside
temperature is close to freezing. Do not drive the
vehicle until all the windows are clear.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
< (Rear Window Defogger): Press this button
to turn on the rear window defogger. It will
automatically turn off several minutes after it has
been activated. The defogger can also be
turned off by pressing the button again or by
turning off the engine. Do not drive the vehicle until
all the windows are clear.
