• For quickly clearing the misted/fogged/frosted-up windshield
and set air distribution mode to defrost. For quick defrosting, set
the temperature to extreme hot
• Once the windshield is cleared, keeping the air conditioner ON
leads to dehumidified cabin heating/cooling which helps in
keeping windshields and windows clear. Keep the fresh air mode
selected. If required, re-adjust the blower speed and
temperature control knob to maintain comfort. The temperature
of air coming out of the vents should neither be too hot nor too
cold
• Driving the vehicle for long with the air conditioner switched off
may lead to windshield or windows getting from the inside.
• Driving the vehicle for long continuously in the recirculation mode
may lead to windshield or windows getting misted/fogged up
• Do not blow cold air on the windshield and windows for long
during hot and humid weather. It could make windshield/
windows mist/fog-up
• When on a long drive during warm humid/rainy weather, once
cabin temperature becomes comfortable. Adjust the
temperature knob such that air coming out of the vents is not
too cold. Shift to any distribution mode other than defrost mode.
This will help in keeping windshields and windows clear
• For defogging/de-misting/defrosting the side windows at the
front, select either Face or demist mode while directing air flow
towards windows by adjusting the louvers of side vents. All other
settings should be kept same as advised for windshield
defogging/de-misting/defrosting
• For heating the vehicle interior while windshield defogging/de-
misting/defrosting, select the Foot-Defrost mode. All other
settings should be kept same as advised for windshield
defogging/de-misting/defrosting
• Side window defrosting by keeping the side vent face away from
the side windows and rolling the windows down and up once.
• For quickly defogging/de-misting/defrosting the outside of the
windshield, it is advisable to operate the windshield wiper/
washer for a few times intermittently
• If snow has deposited on the windshield, use an ice scraper to
remove the ice deposited before using the wiper
• In freezing weather, warm the windshield with the defroster
before using the windshield washer. Also use a washer fluid with
anti-freezing properties. This will help prevent the washer fluid
from freezing on your windshield
• A dirty/contaminated windshield would make misting/fogging
worse. Always keep the inside and outside of the windshield
clean
