AUTO defogging system: (if equipped)

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

OMQ4A035030

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 button 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.

To cancel or reset the auto defogging system:

Press the front windshield defroster button for 3 seconds when the ENGINE START/STOP button is ON.

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

When the AUTO defogging system resets, the defrost button 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.

  • When AUTO defogging is operating, the fan speed adjustment knob, temperature adjustment knob, and air intake control button are all disabled.

NOTE

Do not remove the sensor cover located at the top of the driver’s side windshield glass.

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