Rear Window Defogger (Option)
The rear window defogger
uses a warming grid to remove fog from the rear
window. Press the defogger switch. The indicator light
will glow.
If your vehicle is traveling under 45 mph (70 krn/h), the
rear window defogger will
turn off automatically after
about
10 minutes of use. If your vehicle is traveling over
45 mph (70 km/h), the defogger will operate continuously.
You can tum the defogger off by turning off the ignition or
pressing the switch again.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license across the
defogger grid
on the rear window.
I NOTICE:
Don’t use a razor blade or anything 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.
