Electric rear window defogger switch
5-52 Features and controls

N00523701455
The electric rear window defogger can be
used when the ready indicator is illuminated.
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 about 20 minutes of operation, the sys-
tem will shut off automatically.
To switch the defogger OFF before 20 min-
utes have passed, press the switch again. The
indicator light will go out and the defogger
will turn off.
If you need the defogger for more than 20
minutes, press the switch again. This will add
20 more minutes.
NOTE
 Do not use the wipers when the windshield is
dry. This could scratch the glass and wear the
wiper blades prematurely.
 Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check to be sure that the wiper blades are not
frozen to the windshield. Using the wipers
while the blades are frozen could cause the
wiper motor to burn out.
 If the wipers are left on the glass out of the
parked position and they become blocked by
ice or other deposits on the glass, the motor
may still burn out even if the wiper switch is
OFF. If deposits form on the windshield,
park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the
electric motor switch, and clean the glass so
that the wipers can operate smoothly.
 Avoid using the washer for more than 20 sec-
onds at a time. Do not operate the washer
when the fluid reservoir is empty or the
pump may fail.
 During cold weather, add a recommended
washer solution that will not freeze in the
washer reservoir. Otherwise the washer may
not work or may be damaged.
 Replace the wiper blades when they are
worn. Use the proper size replacement
blades. If you have questions, ask a certified
i-MiEV dealer.

CAUTION
 The rear window defogger is not designed to
melt snow. Remove any snow manually
before using the rear window defogger.
 Use the rear window defogger only after the
ready indicator is illuminated. Be sure to turn
the defogger switch off immediately after the
window is clear to save on 12V starter bat-
tery power.
 Do not place stickers, tape, or other items
that are attached with adhesive over the grid
wires on the rear window.
 When cleaning the inside rear window, use a
soft cloth and wipe lightly over the grid
wires.
NOTE
 If your vehicle is equipped with heated mir-
rors, mist can also be removed from the out-
side rearview mirrors when the rear window
defogger switch is pressed. (Refer to
“Heated mirror” on page 5-18.)

The electric rear window defogger is acti-
vated automatically when the Remote Cli-
mate Control is activated in Pre-Defroster
Mode.
Refer to “Remote Climate Control” on page
3-36, 3-46 and “For persons with electro-
medical apparatus such as implantable car-
diac pacemaker or implantable cardiovascu-
lar defibrillator” on page 3-6.
