REAR (Rear Defogger): Press
to turn the rear window defogger on
or off. The rear window defogger
turns off after about 10 minutes.
It can also be turned off by putting
the ignition in ACC/ACCESSORY or
LOCK/OFF. If turned on again, it
runs for about five minutes before
turning off.
The ignition must be on to use the
rear window defogger.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the
windows are clear.
Do not use a razor blade
or sharp object to clear the inside
rear window. Do not adhere
anything to the defogger grid
lines in the rear glass. These
actions may damage the rear
defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.

Remote Start Climate Control
Operation: For vehicles with the
remote start feature, the climate
control system may run when the
vehicle is started remotely. The
system uses the driver s previous
settings to heat or cool the inside of
the vehicle. The rear defog may
come on during remote start based
on cold ambient conditions. The
rear defog indicator light does not
come on during a remote start. If the
vehicle has heated front seats, they
may come on during a remote start.
See Remote Vehicle Start on
page 2 4 and Heated Front Seats
on page 3 8.
