Rear window defroster
The rear window defroster uses a large
amount of power. To keep the battery

deactivated after approximately
6 to 17 minutes of operation depending on
the outside temperature.

To avoid damage to vanity mirror cover 1,
make sure it is closed before pivoting the sun
visor to the side.
Warning! G
Any accumulation of snow and ice should be
removed from the rear window before
driving. Visibility could otherwise be
impaired, endangering you and/or others.
!
If the rear window defroster switches off too
soon and the indicator lamp starts flashing, this
means that too many electrical consumers are
operating simultaneously and there is insuffi-
cient voltage in the battery. The system re-
sponds automatically by deactivating the rear
window defroster.
As soon as the battery has sufficient voltage, the
rear window defroster automatically switches
back on automatically.
