WINDSCREEN DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING

WARNING
Windscreen heating
Do not use the or
tion during cooling operation in
extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temper-
ature of the outside air and that
of the windscreen could cause
the outer surface of the wind-
screen to fog up, causing loss
of visibility. In this case, set the
mode selection knob or button
to the position and fan
speed control knob or button to
lower speed.
• For maximum windscreen defrost-
ing, set the temperature control
knob to the highest temperature
setting and the fan control knob to
the highest fan speed. Select the
posi-
front defrost button on the climate
control display. After the engine
warm-up period, warm air will be
directed to the front windscreen.
• If warm air to the floor is desired
whilst defrosting or defogging, set
the mode to the floor-defrost posi-
tion.
• Before driving, clear all snow and
ice from the windscreen, rear win-
dow, outside rear view mirrors, and
all side windows.
• Clear all snow and ice from the bon-
net and air inlet in the cowl grill to
improve heater and defroster effi-
ciency and to reduce the probability
of fogging up inside of the wind-
screen.
