• Sets blower fan to the maximum speed.
• Directs air flow to windshield and front side window
diffusers.
• Activates the heated rear window defrost.
• Activates the heated windshield (if equipped).
• Displays the fan speed (Blower Control Indicator LED
illuminated).
When the function is activated, the AUTO button LED
turns off. With the function activated, the only possible
manual adjustments are pushing the A/C control button,
adjusting the fan speed and turning the heated rear win-
dow off.
When the Recirculation Control or AUTO buttons are
pushed, the Climate Control system will deactivate the
Front Defrost (MAX-DEF) function.
Selecting the footwell/windshield or only windshield dis-
tribution activates the Climate Control system compressor
and the air recirculation is set to outside air intake.
This logic guarantees optimum visibility at the windows.
Max-defrost is also available in manual mode.

equipped, push the rear defrost button to activate the
defrosting of door mirrors and heated rear window.
CAUTION!
To avoid causing damage to the rear window defroster
heating filaments do not affix stickers or other objects
to the inside of the rear glass.

ment from the outside.
