Dehumidified defogging
This mode is used to defog the windows
and dehumidify the air.
1. Turn the air flow control dial to the
position.
2. Turn the
fan speed control dial to
the desired position.
3. Press the
button. The indicator
light comes on.
When the
, or positions in be-
tween are selected, the air conditioner au-
tomatically turns on. The air conditioning
system will continue to operate until the
fan speed control dial is turned to OFF or
the vehicle is shut off, even if the air flow
control dial is turned to a position other
than the
position. This dehumidifies
the air which helps defog the windshield.
The
mode automatically turns off, al-
lowing outside air to be drawn into the pas-
senger compartment to further improve
the defogging performance.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
Operating tips
• Keep the windows closed while the air
conditioner is in operation.
• After parking in the sun, drive for two or
three minutes with the windows open to
vent hot air from the passenger com-
partment. Then, close the windows. This
allows the air conditioner to cool the inte-
rior more quickly.
• The air conditioning system should be
operated for approximately ten min-
utes at least once a month. This helps
prevent damage to the system due to
lack of lubrication.
• A visible mist may be seen coming from
the ventilators in hot, humid conditions
as the air is cooled rapidly. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
• If the high temperature warning light
illuminates in red indicating en-
gine coolant temperature is over the
normal range, turn the air conditioner
off. For additional information, see “If
your vehicle overheats” (P. 6-12).
