Windshield Defrosting and Defogging

For maximum defrost performance, set the temperature control to the highest temperature setting and the fan speed control to the highest setting.
If warm air to the floor is desired while defrosting or defogging, select the floor-defrost position.
Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windshield, rear window, side view mirrors, and all side windows.
Clear all snow and ice from the hood and air inlet to improve heater and defroster efficiency and to reduce the probability of fogging up the inside of the windshield.

Do not use the defrost-level Ç position during the cooling operation in extremely humid weather. The outer surface of the windshield may fog and reduce visibility, causing a collision that results in serious injury or death. Set the mode selection button to the face-level ĭ position and lower the fan speed.
