● The temperature of the passenger compart-
ment will be maintained automatically. Air
flow distribution, fan speed and A/C on/off
are also controlled automatically.
● A visible mist may be seen coming from the
ventilators in hot, humid conditions as the air
is cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
Dehumidified defrosting or defogging
1. Push the defroster control button to
turn the system on. The display will show the
defrost icon.
2. Turn the temperature dial to the left or right
to set the desired temperature.
● To quickly remove ice from the outside of the
windows, press the fan control speed button
until it reaches the maximum speed
.
● As soon as possible after the windshield is
clean, push the AUTO button to return to the
auto mode.
● When the defroster control button
is
activated, the air conditioner will automati-
cally be turned on at outside temperatures
above 36°F (2°C). If in defrost mode for
more than one minute, the air conditioning
system will continue to operate until the fan
control is turned OFF, the vehicle is shut off,
or the A/C button is pressed even if the air
flow MODE controlbutton is used toselect a
position other than the
position. This
dehumidifies the air which helps defog the
windshield. The air recirculation mode auto-
matically turns off, allowing outside air to be
drawn into the passenger compartment to
further improve the defogging performance.

partment to prevent fogging in defrost, floor or
def/floor modes.
Push the air recirculation button
to recir-
culate interior air inside the vehicle. Push the
AUTO button to return to automatic mode.
Air flow control

ventilators and foot outlets.
— Air flows mainly from foot outlets.
— Air flows from defroster and foot
outlets.

OPERATING TIPS
● When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate for a
maximum of 150 seconds. However, this is
not a malfunction. After the coolanttempera-
ture warms up, air flow from the foot outlets
will operate normally.
