Rear Window Defogger - Pontiac 2009 Solstice Owner's Manual

Using these settings together for long periods of time can
cause the air inside of the vehicle to become too dry. To
prevent this from happening, after the air in the vehicle
has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so a small amount of water might drip under the
vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
?
(Recirculation): Press to turn the recirculation
mode on or off. An indicator light comes on to show that
recirculation is on.
This mode recirculates and helps to quickly cool the air
inside the vehicle. It can be used to help prevent
outside air and odors from entering the vehicle.
Recirculation is available in the bi-level and vent modes.
If recirculation is selected in either floor/heat, floor/defog,
or defrost mode, the indicator light flashes three times
indicating it is not available in that mode.

Rear Window Defogger

The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
=
(Rear Defogger): Press to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. An indicator light comes on to show
that the rear window defogger is on. Be sure to clear
as much snow from the rear window as possible.
The rear window defogger turns off about fifteen minutes
after the knob is pressed. If turned on again, the
defogger runs for about seven and one-half minutes
before turning off. If vehicle speed is greater than
50 mph (80 kph) and the rear defogger is active, it
remains on as long as the speed is greater than 50 mph
(80 kph). The defogger can also be turned off by
turning off the engine.
Do not use the rear defogger when the convertible top
is down.
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 the vehicle warranty. Do not attach
a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or
anything similar to the defogger grid.
