suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.

(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 and side windows. Use the
defog mode to clear the windows of fog or moisture and
warm the passengers. Use the defrost mode to

15 minutes after the button is pressed. If turned on
again, the defogger only runs for approximately seven
minutes before turning off. If turned on again, the
defogger will only run for approximately seven minutes
before turning off.
