When the heat is set to the floor, the defrost setting prioritizes blowing warm air onto the windshield and windows to prevent ice and fogging. In this mode, the system directs airflow primarily to the floor vents while also allowing some warm air to rise to the windshield, aiding in defrosting. This dual approach helps maintain visibility while delivering warmth to the cabin. If heat is blowing out of the defrost vents instead, it may indicate a malfunction in the climate control system.
