Rear Window Defroster
The switch is located in the center
console.
Turn key in steering lock to
position 1 or 2.
When activating the rear window
defroster, the indicator lamp in the
switch will come on.
Note:
The rear window defroster uses a
large amount of power. To keep
the battery drain to a minimum,
turn off the defroster as soon as
the window is clear.
The defroster is automatically
turned off after a maximum of
20 minutes of operation.
Heavy accumulation of snow and
ice should be removed before
activating the defroster.
If several power consumers are
turned on simultaneously, or the
battery is only partially charged, it
is possible that the defroster will
automatically turn itself off. When
this happens, the indicator lamp
inside the switch starts blinking.
As soon as the battery has suffi­
cient voltage, the defroster auto­
matically turns itself back on.
Shelf below Rear W indow
Warning!
The shelf below the rear win­
dow should not be used to
carry objects. This will prevent
such objects from being
thrown about and injuring
vehicle occupants during an
accident or sudden maneuver.
