Owners Manual_USA_A6717BE-A_en
When the windshield defogger
switch is on, the indicator illumi-
nates on the windshield defog-
ger switch.
■ Defogging the rear window
and outside rear view mir-
rors
Defoggers are used to defog the
rear window and to remove rain-

outside rear view mirrors.
Press the rear window and out-

mode be set to outside air mode and
the fan speed to any setting except

when the outside air temperature
is high.
● Outside/recirculated air mode may
