Auto defogging system
OIK053046L
Auto defogging helps reduce the possibility of fogging up the inside of the windshield by automatically sensing the moisture on inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates when the heater or air conditioning is on.
The auto defogging system may not operate normally, when the outside temperature is below 14 °F (-10 °C).
When the Auto Defogging System operates, the indicator will illuminate.
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:
-
Operating the air conditioning.
-
Outside air position.
-
Blowing air flow toward the windshield.
-
Increasing air flow toward the windshield (Step could be changed according to the outside temperature).
If the air conditioning is off or recirculation mode is manually selected while Auto Defogging System is ON, the Auto Defogging System indicator will blink 3 times to signal that the manual operation has been canceled.
