Auto Defogging System
(Only for Automatic Climate
Control System, if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the possibil-
ity of fogging up the inside of the
windshield by automatically sensingthe moisture on inside the wind-shield.
The auto defogging system operates when the heater or air conditioning ison.Information
The auto defogging system may not
operate normally, when the outside
temperature is below -10 °C (50 °F). When the Auto Defogging
System operates, the indi-
cator will illuminate.
If high levels of moisture are sensed
in the vehicle, the Auto Defogging
System will operate in the following
order: Step 1: Outside air position
Step 2: Operating the air conditioning
Step 3: Blowing air toward the wind- shield
Step 4: Increasing air flow toward the windshield
If the air conditioning is off or recircu-
