The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you may sometimes notice a small
amount of water dripping underneath your
vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
The air conditioning compressor cannot be turned
on when the fan is off.
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. There are
two modes to clear fog or frost from your
windshield and side windows. Use the defog mode
to clear the windows of fog or moisture and
warm the passengers. Use the defrost mode to
remove fog or frost from the windshield more
quickly. For best results, clear all snow and ice
from the windshield before defrosting.
Turn the right knob to select the defog or
defrost mode.
- (Defog): This mode directs approximately half
of the air to the windshield and the side window
outlets and half to the floor outlets. When you
select this mode the system runs the air
conditioning compressor. To defog the windows
faster, turn the temperature control knob clockwise
to the warmest setting.
Recirculation mode is not available in defog mode.
0 (Defrost): This mode directs most of the
air to the windshield, with some air directed to the
side window outlets and the floor outlets. When
you select this mode the system runs the air
conditioning compressor. To defrost the windows
faster, turn the temperature control knob
clockwise to the warmest setting.
Recirculation mode is not available in defog mode.
