Rear window defogger
With manual air conditioning controls
With automatic air conditioning controls
To defog or defrost the rear window,
push the switch.
The key must be in the “ON” position.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the
rear window will quickly clear the window
surface. An indicator light will illuminate to
indicate the defogger is operating.
Push the switch once again to turn the
defoggers off.
The system will automatically shut off af-
ter the defoggers have operated about 15
minutes.
Make sure you turn the defogger off when
the surfaces are clear. Leaving the defog-
ger on for a long time could cause the
battery to discharge, especially during
stop–and–go driving. The defogger is not
designed for drying rain water or for melt-
ing snow.
NOTICE
When cleaning the inside of the rear
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the heater wires or connec-
tors.
