Defrosting and demisting
To defrost the windscreen:
1. Turn the air distribution knob to
DEFROST (0).
2. Turn temperature control knob to
red area for warm air.
3. Adjust the fan control knob to
highest speed for quick
defrosting.
Note
The A/C and outside air mode are
automatically turned on to improve
the performance of the defroster
when you select DEFROST (0) or
FLOOR/Defrost (-) mode.
To keep the windscreen clear and
direct warm air through floor, turn the
air distribution knob to
FLOOR/DEFROST (-).
Caution
The difference between the outside
air and the temperature of the
windscreen can cause the
windows to fog, thereby restricting
your front vision.
Do not use FLOOR/DEFROST (-)
or DEFROST (0) in extremely
humid weather when the
temperature control knob is set to
the blue area.
This can lead to an accident which
can damage your vehicle and
cause personal injuries.
