This indicator illuminates
when the auto defogging
system senses moisture
on the inside of the wind-
shield and is activated.
If more moisture is in the vehicle, the
auto defogging system addresses
excess moisture on the inside of the
windshield in stages as follows:
Step 1 : Operating the air condition- ing
Step 2 : Outside air position
Step 3 : Blowing air flow toward the windshield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield
If your vehicle is equipped with the
auto defogging system, it is automat-
ically activated when the conditions
are met.
However, if you would like to deacti-
vate the auto defogging system,
keep the front defroster button
pressed longer than 3 seconds. The “ADS OFF” symbol will be
shown in the climate display to
inform you that the system is deacti-
vated.
To re-activate the auto defogging
system again, follow the procedure
mentioned above and the “ADS
OFF” symbol will disappear.
If the battery has been disconnected
or discharged, it resets to the auto
defogging status.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• When the air conditioning is
turned on by Auto defogging sys-
tem, if you try to turn off the air
conditioning, the indicator will
blink 3 times and the air condi-
tioning will not be turned off.

Power outlet
The power outlet is designed to pro-
vide power for mobile telephones or
other devices designed to operate
with vehicle electrical systems. The
devices should draw less than 12V,
15A with the engine running.
Use the power outlet only when the
engine is running and remove the
accessory plug after use. Using the
accessory plug for prolonged periods
of time with the engine off could
cause the battery to discharge.
Only use 12V electric accessories
which are less than 15A in electric
capacity.Close the cover when not in use.
Some electronic devices can cause
electronic interference when plugged
into a vehicle’s power outlet. These
devices may cause excessive audio
static and malfunctions in other elec-
tronic systems or devices used in
your vehicle.
Using electrical products which
exceed the limited capacity might
cause heating to the power outlet
and wiring that could lead to an elec-
trical breakdown. Always make sure
the electrical part is firmly plugged
into the power outlet. Incomplete
plugging may cause electrical break-
down.
Electrical products with a built-in bat-
tery might cause current flow, which
could lead to malfunction of the elec-
tric/electronic device in your vehicle.
Only use electrical products which
include reverse current prevention
CAUTION - Vanity mirror
lamp
Close the vanity mirror cover
securely and return the sunvi-sor to its original position afteruse. If the vanity mirror is notclosed securely, the lamp willstay on and could result in bat-tery discharge and possiblesunvisor damage.
