• Do not use recirculated air when
defogging the windows.
• If equipped, activate the air
conditioning when fogging occurs.
Use of the air conditioning system
is the most effective technique for
dehumidifying the air and reducing
fogging/misting of the windows.
• Additional ways to reduce
window fogging include: Select
and adjust the registers to blow
along the windows. Increase the
blower speed. This reduces
moisture by increasing the air flow
rate. Increase the temperature
setting. This will warm up the glass
and reduce fogging/misting of the
windows.
• Before turning the vehicle off,
turn off the air conditioning, select
fan speed
4
and allow the system to
operate at this speed for a few
minutes. This will help reduce any
fogging that may occur the next
time the vehicle is started.
Do not place objects on top
of the instrument panel, as
these objects may become
projectiles in a collision or sudden
stop.
