- For maximum defrosting, set the temperature control to the extreme right/hot
position and the fan speed control to the highest speed.
- If warm air to the floor is desired while defrosting or defogging, set
the mode to the floor-defrost position.
- Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windshield, rear window,
outside rear view mirrors, and all side windows.
- Clear all snow and ice from the hood and air inlet in the cowl grill to
improve heater and defroster efficiency and to reduce the probability of fogging
up the inside of the windshield.
