CAUTION
To prevent damage to the conduc‐
tors bonded to the inside surface of
the rear window, never use sharp in‐
struments or window cleaners con‐
taining abrasives to clean the win‐
dow.
NOTICE
If you want to defrost and defog the
front windshield, refer to “Wind‐
shield defrosting and defogging” on
page 5-120.
Rear window defroster
The defroster heats the window to re‐
move frost, fog and thin ice from the
rear window, while the vehicle is on.
To activate the rear window defroster,
press the rear window defroster button
located in the center facia switch panel.
The indicator on the rear window de‐
froster button illuminates when the de‐
froster is ON.
If there is heavy accumulation of snow
on the rear window, brush it off before
operating the rear defroster.
The rear window defroster automati‐
cally turns off after approximately
20 minutes or when the START/STOP
button is turned off. To turn off the de‐
froster, press the rear window defrost‐
er button again.
Outside rearview mirror defroster
(if equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the out‐
side rearview mirror defrosters, they
will operate at the same time you turn
on the rear window defroster.
