Note:
The rear window defroster uses a
large amount of power. To keep the
battery drain to a minimum, turn off
the defroster as soon as the window
is clear. The defroster is automatically
turned off after a maximum of 20 mi­
nutes of operation. Heavy accumula­
tion of snow and ice should be re­
moved before activating the defroster.
If several power consumers are turned
on simultaneously, or the battery is
only partially charged, it is possible
that the defroster automatically turns
itself off. When this happens, the indi­
cator lamp inside the switch starts
blinking. As soon as the battery has
sufficient voltage, the defroster auto­
matically turns itself back on.
