Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
The rear window defogger only works when the ignition
is in ON/RUN.
< (Rear Window Defogger): Press to turn the rear
window defogger on or off. An indicator light comes
on to show that the rear window defogger is on.
The rear window defogger stays on for about 10 minutes
if the vehicle remains at slower vehicle speeds, or
until the button is pressed or the ignition is turned to
ACC/ACCESSORY or LOCK/OFF. If turned on again,
the defogger only runs for about five minutes before
turning off again. At higher vehicle speeds, the defogger
may stay on continuously. The defogger can also be
turned off by turning off the engine.
For vehicles with the remote start feature, the rear
defogger will automatically turn on. See Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation on page 2-4.
Notice: Do not use anything sharp on the inside of
the rear window. If you do, you could cut or damage
the warming grid, and the repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not attach a
temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything
similar to the defogger grid.
( (Heated Seats): For vehicles with heated seats,
see Heated Seats on page 1-4.
Remote Start Climate Control Operation
For vehicles with the remote start feature activated, the
climate control system heats and cools the inside of
the vehicle using the modes that were set before
the vehicle was turned off. The rear defogger will also
automatically turn on. If the vehicle has heated
seats, they may turn on if it is cold outside and will shut
off when the key is turned to ON/RUN. See Heated
Seats on page 1-4.
