To defog or defrost the rear window,
push the switch.
The key must be in the “ON” position.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the
rear window will quickly clear the window
surface. An indicator light will illuminate to
indicate the defogger is operating. On some models, the outside rear view
mirror defoggers and/or the windshield
wiper de
−icer is also operating simulta-
neously by this switch. Vehicles with the
outside rear view mirror defoggers, the
heater panel in the outside rear view mir-
rors will quickly clear the surfaces. Ve-
hicles with the windshield wiper de −icer,
the windshield wiper blades will be de −
iced.
Push the switch once again to turn the
defoggers off.
The system will automatically shut off af-
ter the defogger has operated about 15
minutes.CAUTION
Vehicles with outside rear view mirror
defoggers, since the mirror surfaces
can get hot, do not touch them when
the defogger switch is on.
Make sure you turn the defoggers off
when the surfaces are clear or the wiper
blades have de −iced. Leaving the defog-
gers on for a long time could cause the
battery to discharge, especially during
stop −and− go driving. The defoggers are
not designed for drying rain water or for
melting snow.
If the outside rear view mirrors are heavi-
ly coated with ice, use a spray de −icer
before operating the switch.
NOTICE
When cleaning the inside of the rear
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the heater wires or connec-
tors.
