Demisting of the windscreen and door windows

Caution

► For safety, make sure you have a clear view through all the windows.

To remove frost or mist from the windscreen and door windows, use the mode selection dial ( or ).

For ordinary demisting

Use this setting to keep the windscreen and door windows clear of mist, and to keep the leg area heated.

1. Set the air selection switch (A) to the outside position.
2. Set the mode selection dial to the position.
3. Select your desired blower speed by turning the blower speed selection dial.
4. Select your desired temperature by turning the temperature control dial.
5. Push the air conditioning switch (B).

For quick demisting

1. Set the mode selection dial to the position.
2. Set the blower to the maximum speed.
3. Set the temperature to the highest position.

Note

► While the mode selection dial is set to the position, the air conditioning will operate automatically and the outside air position will also be selected automatically.
► To demist effectively, direct the air flow from the side ventilators towards the door windows.
► Do not set the temperature control dial to the max. cool position. Cool air will blow against the window glasses and prevent demisting.
► For vehicles with the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system, if the mode selection dial is set to the demister position shown in the illustration, the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system will not operate and the engine will not stop automatically even if the vehicle is stopped.
This is to ensure that good visibility is maintained.
