WARNING

Windscreen heating

Do not use the or setting when running the air conditioner (A/C) in extremely humid weather. The temperature differential between outside air and the windscreen can fog up the windscreen’s outer surface and obscure visibility. Set the mode to and the fan speed control to its lowest speed.

  • For maximum defrosting, set the temperature control to its highest heat and the fan speed control to its highest speed.

  • Set the climate control mode to floor-defrost if you desire warm air in the footwell whilst defrosting or defogging.

  • Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windscreen, rear window, sideview mirrors, and all side windows.

  • To improve heater and defroster efficiency and reduce the likelihood of the inside of the windscreen fogging up, clear all snow and ice from the bonnet and air inlet in the car’s grille.
