The thin heater wires on the inside of the rear window and
the heater panels in the outside rear view mirrors will quickly

the switch again. When the surface has cleared, push the
switch once again to turn the defogger off. Continuous use
may cause the battery to discharge, especially during

rain water or to melt snow.
If the outside rear view mirrors are heavily coated with ice,
use a spray de±icer before operating the switch.

CAUTION!
To avoid serious personal injury, you must do the

of the body of all occupants are kept completely

windows. If someone's neck, head or hands gets
caught in a closing window, it could result in a
serious injury. When anyone closes the power
windows, be sure that they operate the windows
safely.
When small children are in the vehicle, never let
them use the power window switches without
supervision. Use the window lock switch to prevent
them from making unexpected use of the switches.
Never leave small children alone in the vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still inserted. They
could use the power window switches and get
trapped in a window. Unattended children can
become involved in serious accidents.
