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.
The auto defogging system operates when the heater or air conditioning is on.
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.

-
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.
