system on. This may cause
serious harm or death due to
a drop in the oxygen level
and/or body temperature.
Continued use of the climate control system operation in
the recirculated air position
may cause drowsiness or
sleepiness and loss of vehicle

Features of your vehicle
Auto defogging system (if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the probabil-
ity of fogging up the inside of the
windshield by automatically sensing
the moisture of inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is
on. This indicator illuminates
when the auto defogging
system senses the mois-
ture of inside the wind-
shield and operates.
If more moisture is in the vehicle, the
automated steps operate as follows:
If auto defogging does not defog the
window at step 1, outside air posi-
tion, step 2, blowing air toward the
windshield occurs.
Step 1 : Outside air position
Step 2 : Blowing air toward the wind- shield
Step 3 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield
Step 4 : Operating the air condition- ing
Step 5 : Maxim izing the air condi-
tioning
The auto defogging system is auto-
matically activated when the condi-
tions are met. However, if you would
like to cancel the auto defogging sys-
tem, press the front defroster button
4 times within 2 seconds while press-
ing the AUTO button. The indicator of the front defroster
button will blink 3 times to notify you
that the system is cancelled. To use
the auto defogging system again, fol-
low the procedures mentioned
above.
If the battery has been disconnected
or discharged, it resets to the auto
defogging status.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
When the air conditioning is turned
on and the outside air position is
selected by the auto defogging sys-
tem, if you try to turn off the air con-
ditioning and select the recirculated
air position, the indicator will blink
3 times and the air conditioning will
not be turned off and recirculated
air position will not be selected.
CAUTION
Do not remove the sensor cover
located on the upper end of thedriver side windshield glass.Damage to system parts couldoccur and may not be coveredby your vehicle warranty.

Some electronic devices can cause electronic interferencewhen plugged into a vehicle’spower outlet. These devicesmay cause excessive audiostatic and malfunctions inother electronic systems ordevices used in your vehicle.
Make sure that the electric devices are plugged in secure-ly. If not, it could cause a mal-function of electric systems.
If you use an electric device with a battery, electric currentmay flow from the electricdevice into the vehicle andmay cause a malfunction ofelectric systems. Only useelectric devices which couldprevent inverse current.
WARNING
Do not put fingers or foreign
elements (pin, etc.) into a power
outlet and do not touch with a
wet hand. You may get an elec-
tric shock.
CAUTION
Use the power outlet only when the engine is runningand remove the accessoryplug after use. Using theaccessory plug for prolongedperiods of time with theengine off could cause thebattery to discharge.
Only use 10V electric acces- sories which are less than 10Ain electric capacity. If not, itcould lead to an overheatedpower outlet or electric wiringin the vehicle and electric sys-tems may malfunction.
Adjust the air-conditioner or heater to the lowest operatinglevel when using the poweroutlet.
