NOTE:
(Applies to
Manual and Automatic
Climate Control
System) With any type
defroster operation,
the system turns on
the A/C compressor
and selects the FRESH
AIR mode. This helps
defrost the windows
more efficiently by
dehumidifying the air.
The A/C compressor
will always be on in
defroster mode, but
the defroster (and floor)
will deliver warm air
when the temperature
dial is set to a warmer
temperature and the
engine is warmed up.
