Dehumidified defogging
This mode is used to defog the windows and
dehumidify the air.
1. Turn the air flow control dial to the
position.
2. Turn the fan control dial to the desired posi-
tion.
3. Push the
button. The indicator light
comes on.
When the
orare 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 continue to operate until
the fan control dial is turned to OFF or the vehicle
is shut off, even if the air flow control dial is turned
to a position other than the
position. This
dehumidifies the air which helps defog the wind-
shield. The
mode automatically turns off,
allowing outside air to be drawn into the passen-
ger compartment to further improve the defog-
ging performance.4. Turn the temperature control dial to the de-
sired position.
Operating tips
cKeep the windows and sunroof (if so
equipped) closed while the air conditioner is
in operation.
cAfter parking in the sun, drive for 2 or 3
minutes with the windows open to vent hot
air from the passenger compartment. Then,
close the windows. This allows the air con-
ditioner to cool the interior more quickly.
cThe air conditioning system should be
operated for approximately 10 minutes
at least once a month. This helps pre-
vent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
cA visible mist may be seen coming from the
ventilators in hot, humid conditions as the air
is cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
cIf the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature over the normal range, turn
the air conditioner off. See “If your
vehicle overheats” in the “In case of
emergency” section of this manual.
AIR FLOW CHARTS
The following charts show the button and dial
positions forMAXIMUM AND QUICKheating,
cooling or defrosting. For additional information
on heating and cooling see “Heater and air con-
ditioner” in this section”.The air recirculation
(
) button should always be in the OFF
position for heating and defrosting.
