WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
WARNING
Windshield heating
Do not use the
position during
cooling operation in extremely humid
weather. The difference between the
temperature of the outside air and that
of the windshield could cause 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 to the
position and fan
speed control to a lower speed.
[ For maximum defrost performance,
set the temperature control to the
highest temperature setting and
the fan speed control to the highest
setting.
[ 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 rearview 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.
