Rear Window Defroster - Jeep Compass Operating Information Manual

Rear Window Defroster

The rear window defroster button is
located on the bottom right-side of the
blower control 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 automatically turns off after approxi-
mately 10 minutes. For an additional five min-
utes of operation, press the button a second
time.
NOTE:
To prevent excessive battery drain, use the
rear window defroster only when the engine
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.
