This mode heats the interior and defogs the wind-
shield.
1. Turn the air flow control dial to the
position.
2. Turn the fan control dial to the desired posi-
tion.
3. Turn the temperature control dial to the de-
sired position between the middle and the
hot position.
cWhen the
position is selected, the air
conditioner automatically turns on (however,the indicator light will not illuminate) if the
outside temperature is more than 36°F
(2°C) . The air conditioning system will con-
tinue to operate until the vehicle is restarted,
even if the air flow control dial is turned to a
position other than the

dehumidifies the air which helps defog the
windshield. The
mode automatically
turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn
into the passenger compartment to further
improve the defogging performance.
