● When the position is selected, the air
conditioner automatically turns on (however,
the indicator light on the
button will
not come on) if the outside temperature is
more than 36°F (2°C). If in defrost mode for
more than one minute, the air conditioning
system will continue to operate until the fan
control dial is turned to OFF, the vehicle is
shut off, or the A/C button is used to turn off
the compressor even if the air flow control
dial is turned to a position other than
the

which helps defog the windshield.
The mode automatically turns off, al-
lowing outside air to be drawn into the pas-
