I am not 100% sure my auto defrost is working correctly. Certainly, it does kick in sometimes but not always when I have the car in the auto mode .I find by adjusting the temperature helps, but not always . Have any of you had similar experiences or am I doing something wrong ?

Are you trying to get rid of fog, or ice? The auto-defroster only works for inside condensation - the plastic cover to the right of the rear view mirror (passenger side) is the sensor that controls the auto-defrost. According to the manual, an indicator will illuminate (assume in the dash) that says "Auto" with a pic of the front windshield. I don't think I've ever seen this, but it's in my manual (Page 4-126 of the '14 manual).


For ice, it looks like it has to be manual only - press the front defrost button, and change temp to hottest.

best way ive found is to set the temp in the mid 70's, have the AC on (because it takes out the humidity from the air)
