I have the auto defrost feature on my 2017 Santa Fe. I want to stop this since it runs too frequently. According to the instructions, hold down the auto button and hit the defrost button four times. The system is not disabled by this. It keeps happening. Any recommendations?
Hi enthusiasts,you can often identify and resolve issues with your auto-defrost system. If you need further assistance, don’t hesitate to consult a qualified appliance repair technician.
It sounds like you’ve tried the standard reset, but it’s not working. There could be a few things going on.
First, check your car’s settings for any other climate control options that might be interfering.
Second, there might be a sensor issue causing the system to think it’s always foggy. A dealership or a qualified mechanic can diagnose this.
As a temporary fix, you can try manually adjusting the vents and temperature controls to your liking.
When I had issues with the auto defrost feature on my 2017 Santa Fe running too often, I followed the manufacturer’s instructions, but it didn’t work as expected. I found that holding down the auto button and pressing the defrost button multiple times didn’t disable it. Instead, I reached out to a local Hyundai dealership for guidance. They suggested that sometimes the issue might be linked to the climate control system settings or a malfunction, and having a professional check it could resolve the problem. It was helpful to get expert advice to ensure the system was functioning correctly and to find a proper fix.
