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 will turn recirculation
mode off automatically and will run the air
conditioning compressor unless the outside air is
at or below freezing. Recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in defrost mode. This helps prevent
window fogging and moisture building up within
the cabin. To defrost the windows faster, turn the
temperature knob clockwise to the warmest setting.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
The rear window defogger will only work when the
ignition is in RUN.
<(Rear Window Defogger): Press the button to
turn the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator
light above the button will come on to let you know
that the rear window defogger is activated.
The rear window defogger will stay on for
approximately 15 minutes after the button is
pressed, unless the ignition is turned to ACC or
LOCK. If turned on again, the defogger will only run
for approximately seven minutes before turning off.
The defogger can also be turned off by pressing the
button again or by turning off the engine.
Notice: Do not use anything sharp on the
inside of the rear window. If you do, you could
cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license,
tape, a decal or anything similar to the
defogger grid.
