Rear window defogger

To defog or defrost the rear window,
push the switch.
The key must be in the "ON" position.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the
rear window will quickly clear the surface.
An indicator light will illuminate to indicate
the defogger is operating.
Push the switch once again to turn the de-
fogger off.
With timer: The system will automatically
shut off after the defogger has operated
about 15 minutes.
Make sure you turn the defogger off when
the window is clear. Leaving the defogger
on for a long time could cause the battery
to discharge, especially during stop−and−
go driving. The defogger is not designed
for drying rain water or for melting snow.
NOTICE
zWithout timer: To prevent the bat-
tery from being discharged, turn
the switch on when the engine is
running.
zWhen cleaning the inside of the
rear window, be careful not to
scratch or damage the heater
wires.
