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 mode. Use the defrost button to select
the defrost mode.
- (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 most of the air to the windshield and side
window vents and some to the floor vents. In this
mode, the system automatically forces outside air
into your vehicle. The recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in the defrost mode. The air
conditioning compressor runs automatically in this
setting, unless the outside temperature is close to
freezing. Do not drive the vehicle until all the
windows are clear.
AUX (Auxiliary): Press this button to turn the rear
heating and air conditioning on. See Rear Air
Conditioning and Heating System on page 206 or
Rear Air Conditioning and Heating System and
Electronic Climate Controls on page 207.
