Rear Window Defogger
I I The rear window
1 defogger uses a
warming grid
to
remove fog from the
rear window.
Press the switch
to turn on the defogger. An indicator
light will come on below the switch to remind you that
the defogger is
on. Press the switch again to turn the
defogger
off. The rear window defogger will also turn
off if you turn the ignition switch to ACC or LOCK, but
will turn back on when the ignition
is turned back on.
Do not attach anything like a temporary vehicle license
or a decal across the defogger grid on the rear window.
I 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.
Flow-Through Ventilation System
Your Geo’s flow-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when it is moving. Outside
air will also enter the vehicle when the fan
is running
and the air intake lever is at CIRCULATE.
Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow, or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, move the
fan control lever toward FAN for a few moments
before driving
off. This helps clear the intake ducts
of snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside of your windows.
0 Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects.
This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle.
