position
during cooling operation in
extremely humid weather. The

the outer surface of the windshield
to fog up, causing loss of
visibility could cause an accident
resulting in serious injury
or death. In this case, set the
mode selection knob or button
to the .gif){kind=small}
position and fan
speed control knob or button to
a lower speed.
- For maximum defrosting, set the temperature control to the extreme right/hot position and the fan speed control to the highest speed.
- If warm air to the floor is desired while defrosting or defogging, set the mode to the floor-defrost position.
- Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windshield, rear window, outside rear view mirrors, and all side windows.
- Clear all snow and ice from the hood and air inlet in the cowl grill to improve heater and defroster efficiency and to reduce the probability of fogging up the inside of the windshield.

Step 2 : Outside air position
Step 3 : Blowing air toward the windshield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward
the windshield
