3-7 Defrosting and Defogging
Use defrost (front) on cool and humid days to keep the
windshield and side windows clear. This setting will
remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in
extremely humid or cold conditions. If you desire to
have more air on your feet, turn the control to the defog
mode. You may do this by pressing the right or left
arrow on the MODE button.
Press the fan button's up or down arrow to control the
blower speed. You may also adjust the temperature by
turning the TEMP knob.
The recirculation mode and the A/C OFF message are
not available in the defrost mode.
Rear Window Defogger
The grid lines you see on
the rear window warm the
glass. Press this button to
turn on the rear defogger.
With it, the rear window
and both outside rearview
mirrors are heated. The
light on the button will
come on while the system
is activated.The system will automatically shut off after 10 minutes.
If further defogging is desired, press the button again.
The system will automatically shut off after five minutes
for any cycles after the initial activation.
Note: The lines along the top of the window are for
the diversity antenna and are not intended to defog the
rear window.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
Scraping the inside of your rear window could
cut and damage the heating grids. Your warranty
would not cover this damage. Don't put decals
there because you might have to scrape them off.

The use of a non-scrubbing action, dry-type cleaning
cassette is not recommended.
After you clean the player, press and hold the eject
button for three seconds to reset the CLEAN TAPE
indicator. The radio will display CLEAN TAPE MSG
CLEARED to show the indicator was reset.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may
degrade over time. Always make sure the cassette tape
is in good condition before you have your tape
player serviced.
Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and
clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling
discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and the outer edge.
Care of Your Compact Disc Player
The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to
the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with
lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.
Diversity Antenna System
Your AM-FM antennas are located in the front windshield
and rear window. Be sure that the inside surfaces of the front
windshield and rear window are not scratched and that the
lines on the glass are not damaged. If the inside surfaces are
damaged, they could interfere with radio reception.
NOTICE:
Do not try to clear frost or other material from
the inside of the rear window with a razor blade
or anything else that is sharp. This may damage
the rear defogger grid and affect your radio's
ability to pick up stations clearly. The repairs
wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
If, when you turn on your rear window defogger, you
hear static on your radio station, it could mean that a
defogger grid line has been damaged. If this is true, the
grid line must be repaired.
If you choose to add an aftermarket cellular telephone to
your vehicle, and the antenna needs to be attached to the
glass, be sure that you do not damage the grid lines for
the AM
-FM antennas or place the cellular telephone
antenna over the grid lines.
