Rear Window Defogger - Chevrolet Malibu 2005 Owner's Manual

Rear Window Defogger

The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
<
REAR: Press this button to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. An indicator light will come on to let
you know that the rear window defogger is activated.
Be sure to clear as much snow from the rear window
as possible.
If driving below 50 mph (80 km/h), the rear window
defogger will turn off about 15 minutes after the button
is pressed. If turned on again, the defogger will only
run for about seven minutes before turning off. The
defogger can also be turned off by pressing the button
again or by turning off the engine.
3-26
If your vehicle's speed is maintained above 50 mph
(80 km/h), the rear window defogger will remain on
once the button is pressed.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature, the rear
defogger will automatically be turned on if it is cold
outside. The indicator light will be on. When the vehicle
transitions out of the remote start mode, the rear
defogger will turn off.
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 your warranty. Do not attach a temporary
vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything similar to
the defogger grid.
