Front Defrost Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Buick LaCrosse and 2008 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The front defrost mode is the only setting that is not controlled by the automatic HVAC system. When defrost is selected, by the vehicle operator, the A/C compressor is activated and outside air is brought into the vehicle. The blower motor will be activated, regardless of coolant temperature and air will be directed toward the windshield, the side windows and some air flow to the floor. Recirculation mode is not available in front defrost. The recirculation LED will flash on their respective displays if any of those switches are pressed when in front defrost mode. This indicates that these modes are not available. The rear window defogger does not affect the HVAC system in any setting.
