For safety, make sure you have a
clear view through all the windows
before driving away.

To shut off the system temporarily,
turn the fan speed and temperature
control dials all the way to the left.

These settings direct all the air flow
to the defroster vents at the base of
the windshield and the side window
defroster vents. The air flow will get
warmer and clear the windows faster
as the engine warms up. You can
close the side vents with the dial
underneath each vent. This will send
more warm air to the windshield
defroster vents.

To remove exterior frost or ice from
the windshield and side windows
after the car has been sitting out in
cold weather:

Start the engine.
Select

.

When you select

, the

system automatically switches to
Fresh Air mode and turns on the
A/C. (The indicator above the
A/C button stays off.)
Set the fan and temperature
controls to maximum.

To rapidly remove exterior frost or
ice from the windshield (on very cold
days), first select the Recirculation
mode. Once the windshield is clear,
select the Fresh Air mode to avoid
fogging the windows.

No air flow can cause the windows to
fog up. It is recommended that you
keep the fan on at all times so stale
air and moisture do not build up in
the interior and cause fogging.
