If you shift out of
PARK (P), the system will only cycle
for
two minutes. If you want it to cycle again, press the
button. It will

(In certain states, radar detectors are legal.)
Do not use the DE-ICE button if your vehicle has a
cracked windshield.
A crack will not allow the system to
function properly. Have the windshield repaired before
using the DE-ICE button again.
