Rear Window Defogger - Pontiac 2009 Torrent Owner's Manual

Recirculation mode is not available in floor, defog or
defrost modes and will shut off automatically and change
to outside air. If the button is selected in these modes,
the indicator will flash. This helps prevent window fogging
and moisture building up within the cabin.

Rear Window Defogger

The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
The rear window defogger only works when the ignition
is in ON/RUN.
<
(Rear Window Defogger): Press to turn the rear
window defogger on or off. An indicator light comes
on to show that the rear window defogger is on.
The rear window defogger stays on for about
10 minutes if the vehicle remains at slower vehicle
speeds, or until the button is pressed or the ignition is
turned to ACC/ACCESSORY or LOCK/OFF. If turned
on again, the defogger only runs for about five minutes
before turning off again. At higher vehicle speeds, the
defogger may stay on continuously. The defogger can
also be turned off by turning off the engine.

For vehicles with the remote start feature, the rear
defogger will automatically turn on. See Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation on page 2-5.
Notice: Do not use anything sharp on the inside
of the rear window. If you do, you could cut or
damage the warming grid, and the repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not
attach a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal
or anything similar to the defogger grid.

(Heated Seats): For vehicles with heated seats, see
Heated Seats on page 1-4.
Remote Start Climate Control Operation
For vehicles with the remote start feature activated, the
climate control system heats and cools the inside of the
vehicle using the modes that were set before the vehicle
was turned off. The rear defogger will also automatically
turn on. If the vehicle has heated seats, they may turn on
if it is cold outside and will shut off when the key is turned
to ON/RUN. See Heated Seats on page 1-4.
