temperature to increase.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
The rear window defogger only works when the
ignition is on or during remote start, if
programmed. See “Personal Settings Menu” under
Vehicle Personalization on page 148 for additional
information.
=(Rear Window Defogger): Press this button
to turn the rear window defogger on or off. Be
sure to clear as much snow from the rear window
as possible.
The rear window defogger turns off about
10 minutes after the button is pressed. If the
vehicle’s speed is above 30 mph (48 km/h), the
rear defogger stays on continuously. If turned
on again, the defogger only runs for about
five minutes before turning off. The defogger can
also be turned off by pressing the button again
or by turning off the engine.
The heated outside rearview mirrors also heat to
help clear fog or frost from the surface of the
mirror when the rear window defogger is on. See
Outside Power Heated Mirrors on page 130.
Notice: Do not use a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear window. Do not
adhere anything to the defogger grid lines
in the rear glass. These actions may damage
the rear defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
