

When selecting heat, the system will
restrict airflow until it has warmed to
prevent cold air from blowing out of the
vents.

Windshield Defrosting and
Defogging

Press the windshield defroster switch.
In this position, the outside air position is
automatically selected, and the air
conditioner automatically turns on. The air
conditioner will directly dehumidify the
air to the front windshield and side
windows on page 5-4.
Airflow amount will be increased.

WARNING

Set the temperature control to the hot or
warm position when defogging (
position):

Using the 

 position with the temperature

control set to the cold position is dangerous
as it will cause the outside of the
windshield to fog up. Your vision will be
hampered, which could lead to a serious
accident.

NOTE

Use the temperature control dial to
increase the air flow temperature and
defog the windshield more quickly.
