the recirculation mode during high periods of humidity
and cool outside temperatures since this may result
in increased window fogging. If window fogging is
experienced, select the defrost mode.
Recirculation mode is not available in floor, defog or
defrost modes and will shut off automatically and change
to outside air. If the button is selected in these modes,
the indicator will flash. This helps prevent window
fogging and moisture building up within the cabin.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of 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 the windshield and side windows. Use the defog
mode to clear the windows of fog or moisture and warm
the passengers. Use the defrost mode to remove fog
or frost from the windshield more quickly. For best
results, clear all snow and ice from the windshield before
defrosting.
Turn the right knob to select the defog or defrost mode.
