The rear window defogger can be used when
the engine is running.
The indicator light (A) will come on when
you press the electric rear window defogger
switch. Electric current will flow through the
heating wires on the rear window to help
clear away moisture or frost.
After approximately 15 to 20 minutes of
operation, the system will shut off automati-
cally.
To switch the defogger OFF before 15 to 20
minutes have passed, press the switch again.
The indicator light will go out and the defog-
ger will turn off.
If you need the defogger for more than 15 to
20 minutes, press the switch again. This will
add 15 to 20 more minutes.
NOTE
 The wiper deicer is activated/deactivated,
depending on the operation of the rear win-
dow defogger. Refer to “Electric rear win-
dow defogger switch” on page 5-225.

pressed. (Refer to “Heated outside rearview
mirror” on page 5-63.)
 On vehicles equipped with the wiper deicer,
when the rear window defogger switch is
pushed, the windshield becomes warm and
the wipers become operable. (Refer to
