If there is fogging on the side windows, remain in
defog or defrost mode until they clear.
0(Defrost): Press this button to direct most of the
air to the windshield, with some air directed to the
side windows and outboard panel outlets. In this mode,
the system automatically turns off recirculation and
runs the air-conditioning compressor, unless the outside
temperature is at or below freezing. Recirculation
cannot be selected while in the defrost mode.
This mode can also cause the fan speed and air
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 2-60 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 2-43.
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.
