AUTO defogging system: (if equipped)

Automatic defogging senses moisture on the inside of the windshield to reduce the likelihood of the windshield fogging up.

OCL4M035086N

The AUTO defogging system operates when the heating or air conditioning (A/C) is on.

The AUTO defogging indicator will appear when the system is operating.

If high humidity is detected inside the vehicle, AUTO defogging will engage.

The following steps are performed automatically:

  1. The A/C icon indicator will turn on.

  2. The air intake control changes to external airflow when the outside temperature is low.

  3. The climate mode changes to defrost so that airflow is directed to the windshield.

  4. The fan speed increases.

Canceling or resetting the AUTO defogging system

Press the front windshield defroster icon for 3 seconds when the vehicle is in ON position.

When AUTO defogging cancels, the defrost icon indicator blinks 3 times.

When the AUTO defogging system resets, the defrost icon indicator blinks 6 times without a signal.

TIP

  • If you try to turn the A/C OFF when AUTO defogging is on, the indicator blinks 3 times and the A/C will not turn OFF.

  • To maintain the AUTO defogging system’s effectiveness and efficiency, do not select recirculated air intake while the system is operating.

NOTE

Do not remove the sensor cover located at the top of the windshield glass.

Damage to system parts could occur and may not be covered by your warranty.
