Windshield defrosting and defogging

Windshield defrosting and
defogging
When the windshield is covered with
frost or moisture, the front view is
blurred, you should remove the frost
and moisture.
WARNING
Windshield heating
Do not use the
during cooling operation in extremely
humid weather. The difference between
the temperature of the outside air and
the windshield could cause the outer
surface of the windshield to fog up,
causing loss of visibility. In this case, set
the mode selection to the
and fan speed control to the lower
speed.
僅 For maximum defrosting, set the tem-
perature control to the extreme right/
hot position and the fan speed control
to the highest speed.
僅 If warm air to the floor is desired while
defrosting or defogging, set the mode
to the floor-defrost position.
僅 Before driving, clear all snow and ice
from the windshield, rear window,
outside rear view mirrors, and all side
windows.
僅 Clear all snow and ice from the hood
and air inlet in the cowl grill to
improve heater and defroster effi-
ciency and to reduce the probability
of fogging up the inside of the wind-
shield.
