Description And Operation: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Kia Niro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Installed on the windshield glass, the auto defogging sensor detects humidity to blow out wind for defogging to improve visibility and driver comfort. The air conditioner control module receives signal from the sensor and restrains moisture and eliminate defog by controlling the intake actuator, A/C, auto defogging actuator, blower motor RPM, and mode actuator.
