DIY: Unlink A/C from Defroster

[bronsin]

True enough moisture inside the car makes trouble and the AC with defrost fixes it fast.

And also I would want to cycle my AC once in a while to keep things lubed for long life.

But having the AC slaved to defrost means running the AC without reason plenty of times.

Which wastes fuel.

Toyota I can decide for myself when to use the AC with defrost thankyou very much.

That goes for all their other idjit "protect the driver from himself" things like ABS, traction control, press clutch to start etc etc etc.

The defrost mode goes to A/C, BECAUSE

most people track snow and slush into the vehicle, and in the
winter the inside of a car becomes really humid, and often, ice forms
on the inside of the window as well as the outside in winter.

So, defrost mode activates A/C to assist taking care of this problem
of frost on the inside of the glass.

chastised on first post, love it. so you've heard of Holden down in OZ right? Bet you $10 the AC pumps in their cars periodically cycle with defrost. Not a lot of snow to contend with down there. BUT ac does indeed help with humidity. Maybe you can enlighten me since I'm new to this model. does the defrost setting on the yaris put the hvac system into recycle as opposed to fresh air?
