Defogging And Defrosting; Rear Window Defogger - Cadillac 2002 Escalade Owner's Manual

Defogging and Defrosting

On cool, humid days, use defog to keep the windshield
and side windows clear. Use defrost to remove fog or ice
from the windshield in extremely humid or cold
conditions. Use defrost with the temperature knob
toward the red area and the fan control turned all the
way to the right.

Rear Window Defogger

Do not remove the rear window with the rear defogger
on. You may see a discharge spark coming from
the latch area if you remove the window with the
defroster on.
The lines running across the rear window are the rear
window defogger lines. The lines warm the glass.

To turn on the rear
window defogger, press
this button located below
the mode knob.
The rear window defogger will only work if the ignition
is in RUN. For best results, clear the window of as much
snow or ice as possible first.
The defogger will shut itself off after several minutes.
If you need additional warming time, press the button
again. You can turn the defogger off at any time by
pressing the button.
If your vehicle is equipped with heated outside mirrors,
the rear window defogger button will also activate the
heated outside mirrors.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
Don't use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
