(floor/defrost) Ð Distributes air through the windshield defroster
ducts, the demister outlets and the front and rear seat floor ducts. The
system will allow some airflow out the outer instrument panel registers.
If the temperature is about 2ÉC (35ÉF) or higher, the air conditioner will
automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging when manually
selected. For added customer comfort, the air distributed through the
floor ducts may be slightly warmer than the air sent to the windshield
defroster ducts.
(defrost) Ð Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster ducts and the demister outlets. It can be used to clear ice or
fog from the windshield. The system will allow some airflow out the
outer instrument panel registers. If the outside air temperature is about
2ÉC (35ÉF) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify
the air to reduce fogging. (Note that the A/C indicator does not

chance of ice build up on the blades. The indicator will light when the
feature is in operation.
With the ignition in RUN and the engine running, the feature will be
automatically enabled if the temperature is below 5ÉC (40ÉF). The
feature can be manually selected or deselected at any time.
In cold, dry conditions where wet snow or ice is not present it is
acceptable to manually deselect the operation of this feature.
The feature will run continuously unless a low battery condition is
detected, or unless the feature is manually deselected, and will only
activate when the vehicle engine is running (to prevent excessive drain
of the vehicle battery).
