Quick Tips:

  • Defrost mode activates A/C and opens Fresh Air Vent to help dehumidify the air and improve Defroster performance
  • During Auto Operation, the A/C indicator will NOT illuminate. The fan speed, air intake, air flow and air conditioning may automatically be engaged at any time to reach desired temperature and reduce humidity
  • Keep inside glass as clean as possible to reduce window fogging
Auto Defogging System (ADS)

Auto defogging is designed to reduce the fogging up of the inside of the windshield by automatically sensing the moisture of the inside of the windshield. The system will automatically change to defrost mode when needed.

Auto Defogging is set on by default and will operate when the Climate Control system is on. To cancel Auto Defogging, press the Front Defrost button  for three seconds when the ignition is on (ADS OFF icon will illuminate).

To turn Auto Defogging on again, press the Front Defrost button again for three seconds.

Reminders:

  • Continuous use of the climate control system in the recirculated air position may allow humidity to increase inside the vehicle which may fog the glass and obscure visibility 
  • When in AUTO mode, Air Flow mode and Fan Speed do not display on the Climate Control Display 
  • Cold or warm ambient air may flow in through vents if Recirculated Air button is not pressed on (LED lit) 
  • Pressing any button during AUTO operation will deactivate the AUTO function and switch to manual mode, except for Temperature Control or SYNC Temperature Control
