Hyundai Tucson: Windshield defrosting and defogging
WARNING
Windshield heating
Do not use the position
during
cooling operation in extremely humid
weather. The difference between the
temperature of the outside air and that
of the windshield could cause the outer
surface of the windshield to fog up,
causing loss of visibility could cause
an accident resulting in serious injury
or death. In this case, set the mode
selection button to the
position
and fan speed control knob to a lower
speed.
- For maximum defrost performance, set the temperature control to the highest temperature setting and the fan speed control to the highest setting.
- 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, side 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.

Auto Defogging System on Models with Automatic Temperature Control
Auto defogging help 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.
Information
The auto defogging system may not operate normally, when the outside temperature is below 14ºF(-10ºC).
To cancel or set the Auto Defogging System, keep the front defroster button pressed for 3 seconds. The "ADS OFF" symbol will be shown in the climate display to inform you that the system is deactivated. To re-activate the auto defogging system, follow the procedure mentioned above and the "ADS OFF" symbol will disappear.
If the battery has been disconnected or discharged, it resets to the auto defogging status.
Information
For efficiency, do not select recirculated air position while the Auto defogging system is operating.

Do not remove the sensor cover located on the top of the windshield glass.
Damage to system parts could occur and may not be covered by your vehicle warranty.
Rear window defroster
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the rear window defroster conducting elements bonded to the inside surface of the rear window, never use sharp instruments or window cleaners containing abrasives to clean the window.
