guess you better re-read the book, page 122(n), it says not in the cdn models (re oil light)

my sedan manual says I have to push the a/c button to activate it, during defrost.

maybe the hatch is different?

My question is why is this thread still alive?

If its foggy/frosted do one of the following:
- make sure your air is set to blow onto your windshield, use outside air, turn heat up (if its frosted) or leave it in the middle "room temp" if its foggy (as it will simply take in the air and not make it hotter or colder then the outside temp, which will balance the temp of the inside of the windshield with the outside of the windshield

- if its cold enough to frost your windows, you should be warming your car before you drive it anyways, and simply make sure that the above is setup to defrost your front windshield

- if your side mirrors are fogging/freezing up simply wipe/scrape them.... and if you don't want to that then get some-one (or yourself) to install a heat option (similar to ones used in under tank hear solutions - just waterproof it, or look on ebay/google for an after market kit)

- or use a combo of "anti-fog" for the inside (works pretty well - no more fogging) and rain-x on the outside (makes removing frost/ice 100x easier)

as far as not having a manual call/go to your dealer and say WTS mate! and they should order/give you one.

EDIT - if I sound like an ass; dont mean to, but oh well lifes to short to worry

okay, sorry guys! i didn't read my manual!

But thanks though. It amazes me how you guys know so much about cars and im like "duhhh" - LOL.

Yesterday when i left work, my car was a little foggy from being cold all day in the parking deck (plus it rained all day) so i tried the outside air and within seconds things were cleared! I had it on inside air before and i apologize, i didn't think it would make a difference so i never tried it. Even my boyfriend told me im car dumb :(

But seriously, thanks everyone for helping me out!
I LOVE YALL!

oh. and i thought BLACK was the fastest color? ;)

No, RED is the fastest color, BLACK is the HOTTEST color. It only adds 6hp, but it's great in the wintertime.

barryware can tell you how it affects the AC compressor... ROFL!

I've heard the Canadian cars like mine with cold weather package have a heavy duty ceramic heater in the heater system that provides the cabin with warm air faster then cars without the cold weather package. That and a few other items like rear heater ducts, larger 1gallon + washer fluid tank and low fluid sensor, rock chipping tape, and rear window defroster

This is the owners manual that is included with the service manual download that Violin setup. my owners manual that came with the car is in the car, and i am too lazy right now...

ooooh, cool font junk... copy/pasted out of adobe...

page 159:

5. Windshield—

Air flows mainly from the

windshield vents.

Turning the air flow selector to the
windshield position turns on the defogging
function with the purpose of clearing
the front view.
Use with the air intake selector positioned
in FRESH.
Vehicles with “A/C” button—
Press the “A/C” button for dehumidified
heating or cooling. This setting clears the
front view more quickly.

What a load of hooky. The AC comes on automatically in the two defrost positions (as long as you have the fan running, not on 0), try it for yourself and see...
