If  your vehicle  is traveling under 
45 mph (70 km/h), the 
rear  window defogger will turn  off automatically  after 
about 
10 minutes of use. If your vehicle  is traveling 
over

continuously.  You can turn the defogger  off  by turning 
off 
the ignition  or pressing the switch again.

defogger grid on the rear window.

Don’t  use  a  razor  blade  or  something  else  sharp 
on  the  inside 
of the  rear  window. If you do, you 
could  cut  or damage  the  warming  grid,  and  the 
repairs  wouldn’t  be  covered  by 
your warranty. 
Flow-Through  Ventilation System 
Your  Oldsmobile’s  flow-through  ventilation  system  supplies 
outside 
air into the  vehicle  when  it is moving.  Outside air 
will also enter  the  vehicle  when  the  fan  is  running.

Keep the hood  and front  air inlet  free of ice,  snow,  or 
any  other  obstruction (such 
as leaves).  The heater 
and defroster  will  work far better, reducing the 
chance  of fogging the inside  of your windows. 
When  you enter 
a vehicle  in cold weather,  turn the 
fan  control to 
HTGH for  a  few moments before 
driving 
off. This  helps  clear the intake  ducts of snow 
and moisture, and reduces the chance  of fogging  the 
inside 
of your windows. 
Keep  the  air  path  under  the  front  seats  clear 
of objects. 
This  helps  air  to  circulate  throughout  your  vehicle.
