On second and subsequent activations of the rear windshield
defogger in the same ignition cycle, the defogger ON time will be
half the duration of the first activation.
10.16 Points to Remember
• For quickly defogging/de-misting/defrosting outside of
windshield, it is advisable to operate the windshield wiper/
washer for few times intermittently.
• If snow has deposited on windshield, use ice scraper to remove
ice deposited before using wiper.
• In freezing weather, warm the windshield with the defroster
before using the windshield washer. Also use a washer fluid
having anti-freezing properties. These will help prevent the
washer fluid from freezing on your windshield.
• Dirty/contaminated windshield would make misting/ fogging-up
worse. Always keep the inside and outside of windshield clean.
• Reduced air flow because of clogged HVAC filter or any other
obstructions in air flow path may lead to in-adequate defogging/
de-misting/defrosting performance. If air flow seems to have
considerably reduced, get the filter cleaned or replaced
immediately. Air flow path should be kept free of obstructions.
• Reduced cooling performance from air conditioner may lead to
in-adequate defogging/de-misting/defrosting. If cooling effect
seems to have dropped considerably, get the air conditioning
system checked by an authorized Mahindra dealer.
Your vehicle is equipped with a HVAC filter. If the AC
performance is considerably low, it is recommended have the
HVAC filter checked at the nearest Mahindra dealer.
Never operate HVAC system with the filter removed. This may
result in premature failure of system components.
