Using the position with the
temperature control set to the cold
position is dangerous as it will cause
the outside of the windshield to fog
up. Your vision will be hampered,
which could lead to a serious
accident.
NOTE.
Use the temperature control dial to increase the air flow temperature and defog the windshield more quickly.
Sunlight/Temperature Sensor
The fully automatic air conditioner function measures inside and outside temperatures, and sunlight. It then sets temperatures inside the passenger compartment accordingly.
