Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
<
(Rear Window Defogger):
Press this button
to turn the rear window defogger on or off. An
indicator light below the button 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.
The rear window defogger will only work when the
ignition is in run. The rear window defogger will stay
on for about 20 minutes after the button is pressed
if you are traveling at slower vehicle speeds. At
higher vehicle speeds, the rear defogger may stay
on continuously. If turned on again, the defogger
will only run for about 10 minutes before turning off.
The defogger can be turned off by pressing
the button again, by turning the ignition to
ACCESSORY or RUN, or by turning off the engine.
If your vehicle has heated outside rearview mirrors,
the mirrors will heat to help clear fog or frost from
the surface of the mirror when the rear window
defogger is on. See
Heated Mirror on page 135
for more information.
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.
