Kia EV6: Windshield defrosting and defogging / Auto Defogging System (ADS)

Contents:

The Kia EV6 Auto Defogging System (ADS) helps reduce windshield fogging by automatically detecting moisture levels on the inside surface of the windshield.

Kia EV6 Auto Defogging System moisture sensor and windshield control

The Kia EV6 Auto Defogging System operates whenever the heating or air conditioning system is active.

The indicator illuminates whenever the Kia EV6 ADS system detects excess moisture on the inside of the windshield and activates automatic defogging functions.

The Kia EV6 Auto Defogging System removes excess windshield moisture in several stages. For example, if the windshield is not cleared sufficiently during the Fresh Air stage, the system automatically proceeds to the air conditioning stage.

  1. Fresh outside air intake mode

  2. Automatic air conditioning operation

  3. Increasing windshield airflow volume

  4. Directing airflow toward the windshield

Turning the auto defogging system on or off

  • Press and hold the Kia EV6 front windshield defroster button for approximately 3 seconds while the vehicle is in the POWER ON or DRIVE READY position.

When the Kia EV6 ADS system is canceled, the defroster button indicator blinks three times at 0.5-second intervals.

When the Kia EV6 ADS system is reactivated, the defroster indicator blinks six times at 0.25-second intervals.

CAUTION

Do not remove or modify the Kia EV6 windshield moisture sensor cover located near the upper passenger side area of the windshield glass. Damage to the sensor or related components may affect system operation and may not be covered under warranty.
