For vehicles with this feature,
press to turn the defogger on
or off. It automatically turns off
several minutes after it has been

lines in the rear glass. These
actions may damage the rear
defogger. Repairs would not be

the rear window defog button is
pressed. See Power Mirrors on

Sensors
The solar sensor, located in the
defrost grille in the middle of the
instrument panel, monitors the solar
