Auto defogging system (only for automatic climate control system) (if equipped)
Auto defogging helps reduce the possibility of fogging up the inside of the windscreen by automatically sensing the moisture on inside the windscreen.
When the Auto Defogging System operates, the indicator will appear.
If a high amount of humidity is detected in the vehicle, the Auto Defogging System will be enabled.
The following steps will be performed automatically:
-
The A/C button will turn ON.
-
The air intake control will change to Fresh mode under low outside temperature.
-
The mode will be changed to defrost to direct airflow to the windscreen.
-
The fan speed will be increased.

Press the front windscreen defroster button for 3 seconds when the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button is in the ON position.
When the Auto Defogging System is cancelled, defrost button indicator will blink 3 times.
When the Auto Defogging System is reset, defrost button indicator will blink 6 times.
-
When the air conditioning is turned on by Auto defogging system, if you try to turn off the air conditioning, the indicator will blink 3 times and the air conditioning will not be turned off.
-
To maintain the effectiveness and efficiency of the Auto Defogging System, do not select Recirculation mode whilst the system is operating.
-
When the Auto Defogging System is operating, the fan speed adjustment knob, the temperature adjustment knob, and the air intake control button are all disabled.
