Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER (IF EQUIPPED)

R

The rear defroster control is located on the climate control panel and
works to defrost your rear window from fog and thin ice. If equipped, it
also operates the heated mirror to remove snow and thin ice from the
side mirrors.

Ensure that the ignition is ON. Press to turn the defroster ON/OFF. The
indicator light will illuminate when activated.

Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean the inside
of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside of the
rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines and
will not be covered by your warranty.
