Rear Window Defogger
The lines you see on
the rear window warm
the glass.
For best results, clear the window of as much snow or
ice
as possible before using the rear window defogger.
To turn on the rear window defogger, find the button
marked REAR with the defog symbol
on the lower right
corner of your climate control system. Press
the button
until the light in the switch comes on, then release it. It
will only work
if the ignition switch is turned to RUN.
Pressing the REAR button on your climate control
system will also activate your heated outside mirrors.
This will help to keep ice and snow from collecting
on
your mirror surfaces.
The rear window defogger will stay on for five
to seven
minutes, then turn
off. If you need additional warming
time, turn it on again. You can turn the defogger off at
any time by pressing the button.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defnqger grid on
the rear window.
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.

SCV Your system has a feature called

desired level. Move
