Defroster Outlets

Mist is easily formed on the windows in cold air and damp weather. The defroster outlets release air toward the windscreen. The air flow removes any mist that forms. As the air is dry, the air flow also prevents moist air from the passenger compartment reaching the glass and with that counteracts mist formation. Air conditioning contributes greatly to these functions by dehumidifying the air at temperatures above 0 °C.

There on four defroster outlets, two for the windscreen and two for the front, side windows. The two for the windscreen are designed so the greatest part of the air goes up against the window. The remainder of the air seeps along the lower edge of the windscreen to help keep the windscreen wipers free from ice.

The air ducts to the side window defroster are a continuation of the windscreen's ducts.
