Rear Window Defogger

The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
<
(Rear): Press the button to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. An indicator light below the button will
come on to let you know that the rear window defogger
is activated.
The rear window defogger will only work when the ignition
is in ON/RUN. The rear window defogger will stay on for
about 20 minutes after the button is pressed. If turned on
again, the defogger will only run for about 20 minutes
before turning off. The defogger can also be turned off by
pressing the button again or by turning off the engine.
Do not drive the vehicle until all windows are clear.
Notice: Do not use anything sharp on the inside of
the rear window. If you do, you could cut or
damage the warming grid, and the repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Do not attach a
temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything
similar to the defogger grid.
