Defogging and Defrosting Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high humidity or moisture condensing on the cool window glass. This can be minimized if the climate control system is used properly. There are two modes to clear fog or frost from your windshield. Use the defog mode to clear the windows of fog or moisture and warm the passengers. Use the defrost mode to remove fog or frost from the windshield more quickly. For best results, clear all snow and ice from the windshield before defrosting. Select one of these available modes from the right knob. Rear Window and Outside Mirror Defogger Your vehicle may have a rear window and outside mirror defogger. This feature only works when the ignition is turned to ON/RUN. The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog or frost from the rear window. Before using this feature, clear as much snow from the rear window as possible. < (Rear Window Defogger): É (Defog): This mode directs most of the air to the windshield and the floor outlets. A small amount of air is also directed to the outboard outlets for the side windows and to the instrument panel side outlets. When this mode is selected, the system runs the air-conditioning compressor. To defog the windows faster, turn the temperature control knob clockwise to the warmest setting. Press this button to turn the rear window and outside mirror defogger on or off. An indicator light in the button comes to show that the feature is activated. If your vehicle does not have air conditioning, the rear window defogger will remain on until the button is pressed again or the engine is turned off. If your vehicle has air conditioning, the rear window defogger will turn off about 10 minutes after the button is pressed. The defogger can also be turned off by pressing the button again or by turning the engine off. Notice: Do not use anything sharp on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you could cut or damage the warming grid, and the repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything similar to the defogger grid. 3-23 1 (Defrost): This mode directs the air to the windshield and the outboard outlets for the side windows. A small amount of air is also directed to the instrument panel side outlets. When this mode is selected, the system runs the air-conditioning compressor. To defrost the windows faster, turn the temperature control knob clockwise to the warmest setting. Do not drive the vehicle until all windows are clear.
