Auto Defogging System (Only
for Automatic Climate Control

Auto defogging reduces the possibility of
fogging up the inside of the windshield by
automatically sensing the moisture of
inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is on.
Information

ate normally, when the outside tempera-
ture is below 50 °F (-10 °C).
When the Auto Defogging
System operates, the indica-
tor will illuminate.
If higher level of moisture are sensed in
the vehicle, the Auto Defogging System
will operate in the following order:
Step 1 : Outside air position
Step 2 : Operating the air conditioning
Step 3 : Blowing air toward the wind-
shield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward the
windshield
If the air conditioning is off or recirculated
air position is manually selected while

Defogging System Indicator will blink 3
times to signal that the manual operation
has been canceled.
