The climate control system uses the information
from these sensors to maintain your comfort setting
by adjusting the outlet temperature, fan speed, and
the air delivery mode. The system may also supply
cooler air to the side of the vehicle facing the sun.
The recirculation mode will also be used as needed
to maintain cool outlet temperatures.
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.
