These delays prevent false readings. If the
temperature goes down, the outside temperature
will be shown when you start the vehicle. If it
has been turned off for less than three hours, the
temperature will be recalled from the previous
vehicle operation.
There is also an inside temperature sensor
located to the left of the ignition switch. The
automatic climate control system uses this sensor
to receive information, so if you block or cover
it, the system will not function properly.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity and 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 your windshield.
Use the floor/defog mode to clear the windows of
fog or moisture and warm the passengers. Use
defrost to remove fog or frost from the windshield
more quickly. To prevent fogging on the inside of
the windows in modes other than floor/defog and
defrost, make sure the air conditioning compressor
is on and recirculation mode is off.
Press the mode button until the defog mode
appears on the display.

-
(Floor/Defog): This mode directs the air
equally between the windshield and the floor
outlets with a small amount to the side window
outlets. When you select this mode, the system
turns off recirculation and runs the air-conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is
at or below freezing. The recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in the defog mode.
1
(Defrost): Pressing this button directs most
of the air to the windshield, with a small amount
directed to the side window outlets. The light on the
button will come on and the digital display will show
the defrost mode symbol and fan speed when the
front defrost mode is being used. In this mode, the
system will automatically turn off the recirculation
and run the air-conditioning compressor, unless
the outside temperature is at or below freezing.
Recirculation cannot be selected while in the
defrost mode. Pressing this button again will return
the system to the last operating mode.
For severe ice conditions, turn the driver's
temperature knob to 90°F (32°C) while in
defrost mode.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows
are clear.
