Operating the HVAC system in the RECIRCULATION

mode and increase the fan speed. To avoid re

fogging of
the windows, operate the HVAC system in the

(the light will glow) to

the rear window and to turn
on the heated outside

the defogger off by turning off the ignition or by
pressing the button again.

defogger grid on the rear window.

repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
