Rear Window Defogger - Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell Owner's Manual

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. When either of
these modes or the floor mode is selected, the system
runs the air conditioning compressor and cancels
recirculation mode to dry the air; however, the
recirculation light stays on. For best results, clear all
snow and ice from the windshield before defrosting.
When using the automatic mode setting, the system will
automatically use the defog or defrost modes as
needed.
Manually turn the right knob to select the defog or
defrost mode.
-
(Defog): This mode directs air to the windshield, side
window outlets and floor outlets. When this mode is
selected, the system will turn recirculation mode off and
run the air conditioning compressor unless the outside air
is at or below freezing. Recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in defog mode. This helps prevent window
fogging and moisture building up within the cabin.
0
(Defrost): This mode directs most of the air to the
windshield, with some air directed to the side window
outlets and the floor outlets. When this mode is selected,
the system will turn recirculation mode off automatically
and will run the air conditioning compressor unless
the outside air is at or below freezing. Recirculation
mode cannot be selected while in defrost mode. This
helps prevent window fogging and moisture building
up within the cabin.

Rear Window Defogger

The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
The rear window defogger only works when the start
switch is in the SYSTEM ON position.
