The defroster heats the window to remove frost, fog and thin ice from the rear
window, while the engine is running.
To activate the rear window defroster, press the rear window defroster button
located in the center facia switch panel. The indicator on the rear window defroster
button illuminates when the defroster is ON.
If there is heavy accumulation of snow on the rear window, brush it off before
operating the rear defroster.
The rear window defroster automatically turns off after approximately 20 minutes
or when the ignition switch is turned off. To turn off the defroster, press the
rear window defroster button again.
Wiper deicer (if equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the wiper deicer, it will operate at the same
time you turn on the rear window defroster.
CAUTION - Conductors
To prevent damage to the conductors bonded to the inside surface of the rear
window, never use sharp instruments or window cleaners containing abrasives to clean
the window.
