Back window and outside rear
view mirror defoggers
Make sure you turn the defoggers off
when the surfaces are clear. Leaving the
defoggers on for a long time could cause
the battery to discharge, especially during
stop−and−go driving. The defoggers are
not designed for drying rain water or for
melting snow.
NOTICE
Do not operate the back window wip-
er if the back window is dry. It may
scratch the glass.
CAUTION
On some models, since the mirror
surfaces can get hot, keep your
hands off them when the defogger
switch is on.
To defog or defrost the back window,
push the switch with the back window
closed.
NOTICE
The key must be in the “ON” position.
When cleaning the inside of the back
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the heater wires or connec-
tors.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the
back window will quickly clear the surface.
An indicator light will illuminate to indicate
the defogger is operating.
On some models, heater panels in the
outside rear view mirrors will also quickly
clear the surfaces.
Push the switch once again to turn the
defogger off.
The system will automatically shut off af-
ter the defoggers have operated about 15
minutes.
