(floor/defrost) - Distributes air through the windshield defroster ducts, the demister outlets and the front and rear seat floor ducts. The system will allow some airflow out the outer instrument panel registers. When floor/defrost is selected, if the outside temperature is about 2° C (35° F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce window fogging. For added customer comfort, the air distributed through the floor ducts may be slightly warmer than the air sent to the windshield defroster ducts. When floor/defrost is selected, the system will automatically provide outside air to reduce window fogging. Recirculation and A/C override controls can be selected. (defrost) - Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster ducts and the demister outlets. It can be used to clear ice or fog from the windshield. The system will allow some airflow out the outer instrument panel registers. If the outside temperature is about 2° C (35° F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce window fogging.

The fan, heating and air conditioning will not operate. The outside temperature will still display when selected with the ignition in the RUN position. Electric window heaters (heated wiper rest) - Located at the base of the windshield, this feature heats the front glass area below the area heated by the front defroster where the windshield wipers sit in their parked position. When activated, the feature keeps the wiper blades warm and reduces the chance of ice build up on the blades. The indicator will light when the feature is in operation. With the ignition in RUN and the engine running, the feature will be automatically enabled if the temperature is below 5°C (40°F). The feature can be manually selected or deselected at any time. However, the automatic feature will be enabled each time the engine is started. 53
