Defogging and Defrosting 
There  are  two  modes  to clear fog or frost from your 
windshield.  Use the defog mode to clear the windows 
of fog  or  moisture  and  warm 
the defrost  mode  to  remove 
windshield  more  quickly.

the  passengers.  Use

the defog or defrost mode.

(Defog):  This  mode  directs air to the windshield 
and  the  floor  outlets.  When  you  select  this mode, 
the  system  turns 
off  recirculation and runs the 
air-conditioning compressor unless the outside 
temperature is at  or  below  freezing.  The  recirculation 
mode  cannot  be  selected while in the defog  mode. 
(Defrost):  Pressing  this button directs most of the 
air  to the windshield  and the side  window outlets, with 
some  air  directed to  the  floor  outlets.  In  this mode, 
the  system  will  automatically  turn 
off 
recirculation and 
run  the air-conditioning compressor,  unless  the outside 
temperature is at  or  below  freezina.  Recirculation 
cannot be selected while in the defrost mode. 
Rear  Window Defogger 
The  rear  window  defogger uses a warming grid to 
remove fog from the rear window.

REAR: 
Press this button to turn the rear window 
defogger on or 
off. 
An indicator light in the button 
will come on to let you know that the rear window 
defogger is activated. 
The  rear  window  defogger will turn 
off 
approximately 
10 
minutes after the button is pressed. 
If 
turned on 
again,  the  defogger will only run for approximately 
five minutes before turning 
off. The defogger can also 
be turned 
off 
by pressing the button again or by turning 
off the engine. 
Notice: 
Don’t use  anything  sharp  on  the inside of

the warming grid, and the repairs wouldn’t be 
covered by your  warranty.  Do not attach a temporary 
vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything similar 
to the defogger grid.
