REAR WINDOW FEATURES
Rear Window Defroster
The rear window defroster button is
located on the climate control (Mode)
knob. Press this button to turn on the
rear window defroster and the heated
outside mirrors (if equipped). An indicator in the
button will illuminate when the rear window
defroster is on. The rear window defroster au-
tomatically turns off after approximately 10 min-
utes. For an additional five minutes of opera-
tion, press the button a second time.

is operating.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause
damage to the heating elements:
• Use care when washing the inside of the
rear window. Do not use abrasive window
cleaners on the interior surface of the
window. Use a soft cloth and a mild wash-
ing solution, wiping parallel to the heating
elements. Labels can be peeled off after
soaking with warm water.
• Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or
abrasive window cleaners on the interior
surface of the window.
• Keep all objects a safe distance from the
window.
