(Defrost):
Use this mode to remove fog or
frost from the windshield more quickly. Turning the
control to this mode directs most of the air to the
windshield and the side window outlets. In this
mode, the system will automatically turn off
recirculation and run the air-conditioning
compressor, unless the outside temperature is at or
below freezing. Recirculation cannot be selected
while in the defrost mode. Do not drive the vehicle
until all the windows are clear.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
<
(Rear 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 window
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.
The heated outside rearview mirrors will heat to
help clear fog or frost from the surface of the mirror
when the rear window defogger is on. See
Automatic Dimming Heated Mirror on page 135
for
more information.
Notice:
Do not use a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear window. Do not
adhere anything to the defogger grid lines
in the rear glass. These actions may damage
the rear defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
