Windshield Defrosting and
Defogging

1. Set the mode selector dial to the 

position.

2. Set the temperature control dial to the

desired position.

3. Set the fan control dial to the desired

WARNING

Do not defog the windshield using the 
position with the temperature control set
to the cold 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. Set the temperature control to
the hot or warm position when using the

 position.

NOTE

•

For maximum defrosting, turn on the air
conditioner, set the temperature control
dial to the extreme hot position, and turn
the fan control dial fully clockwise.

If warm air is desired at the floor, set the
mode selector dial to the   position.

•

When the fan control dial is ON, and the
mode selector dial is in the   or
