Defroster

Climate control question.

OK on normal. Cool air coming out, AC working.

Turn on defroster and hot HOT air comes out. Even with wheel spun all the way blue.

Hit the other button and it goes back to cool.

RE: Defroster

Quote from the Owner's Manual: (when defrost button pushed)

"Heated air is directed to the windshield and adjustable air outlets independent of the positions of the temperature selection wheel"

In other words, everything is fine and working as it should.

Re: Defroster

This is really heated air. Like a blow torch. Certainly would melt ice, but does not do well defogging.

That is where the 'bi-level" button comes in...compressor kicks in, shut vents a bit on the lower areas and you get a bit more air to the windshield.

Re: Defroster

Thanks. You guys are a lot easier than reading the manual.
