REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER
R
The rear defroster control is located on the climate control panel and
works to clear the rear window of fog and thin ice.
The vehicle must be on to operate the rear window defroster.
Press
R
to turn the rear window defroster on. An indicator light on the
button will illuminate when active. The rear window defroster turns off
automatically after approximately 15 minutes. If a low battery condition
is detected or the ignition is turned off or to the accessory position, the
rear window defroster will not function. To manually turn off the rear
window defroster at any time, press
R
again.
If your vehicle is equipped with both rear defroster and heated mirrors,
the same button will activate both. Refer to
Heated outside mirrors
in
the
Driver Controls
chapter.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean the inside
of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside or the
rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines and
will not be covered by your warranty.
