turns on automatically when the

the outside temperature is about
4°C (40°F) and below. The auto
rear defogger turns off automatically
after about 10 minutes, or after
five minutes if the outside
temperature is not as cold.
For vehicles with heated outside
rearview mirrors, they turn on when
the rear window defogger button
is on and help to clear fog or frost
from the surface of the mirror.
See Heated Mirrors on page 2 17.
Do not try to clear frost
or other material from the inside
of the front windshield and rear
window with a razor blade or
anything else that is sharp. This
may damage the rear window

radio's ability to pick up stations
clearly. The repairs wouldn't be
covered by your warranty.

vehicles with this feature, press to
turn on or off. See Heated Steering

The rear window defogger turns on
if it is cold outside.
Sensor
