Features of your vehicle
This indicator illuminates
when the auto defogging
system senses moisture
on the inside of the wind-
shield and is activated.
If more moisture is in the vehicle, the
auto defogging system addresses
excess moisture on the inside of the
windshield in stages as follows:
Step 1 : Operating the air condition- ing
Step 2 : Outside air position
Step 3 : Blowing air flow toward the windshield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield
If your vehicle is equipped with the
auto defogging system, it is automat-
ically activated when the conditions
are met.
However, if you would like to deacti-
vate the auto defogging system,
keep the front defroster button
pressed longer than 3 seconds. The “ADS OFF” symbol will be
shown in the climate display to
inform you that the system is deacti-
vated.
To re-activate the auto defogging
system again, follow the procedure
mentioned above and the “ADS
OFF” symbol will disappear.
If the battery has been disconnected
or discharged, it resets to the auto
defogging status.
