A/C Needed for Defrost?

An almost direct quote from the owner's manual, "Dehumidifying (cars with A/C) Press the air conditioner switch and set the air selection knob to fresh air. Set mode selection to defrost or defrost and floor. Adjust temperature control knob to desired level."

I took my A/C out as well and I have noticed a few more minutes of dehumidifying, but like was said before, just crack a window slightly and it will do the trick. But you have to have the air selection knob to "fresh air" otherwise it's pointless.

I was in disbelief of this before when someone told me this. I had to go to the owner's manual to find out a couple of years ago. When I had A/C I used to use this feature ALL the time. Especially when it was raining out.

As far as defrosting, I don't think you will have any problems with it. It does help a little but a warmed up engine and defrosters on high work just as well.
