I was driving home from the detail shop where my SC had been all day getting protection— undercoating, rustproofing, front clear bra, polymer -ceramic hybrid wax. I’m one week into ownership and still learning all the “smart” things.
Suddenly the car alert beeped and the climate control seemed to go haywire. Everything came on FULL blast, and I was pushing OFF and every other button like crazy but it wouldn’t respond.
I said to the friend with me “It’s fried!” “She said calmly, “No it’s not. Read the manual. There’s an explanation.” Wise words.
Auto Defogging System 5-92
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:
Step 1) Air conditioning will turn ON.
Step 2) Air intake control will change toFresh mode.
Step 3) Mode will change to defrost todirect airflow to the windshield.
Step 4) Fan speed will be set to MAX.
…
• When Auto Defogging System is operating, fan speed adjustment, temperature adjustment, and air intake control selection are all disabled.
