Rear window defogger
SU14013
To defog or defrost the rear window,
push the switch.
The key must be in the “ON” position.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the
rear window will quickly clear the sur-
faces. An indicator light will illuminate to
indicate the defogger is operating.
Push the switch once again to turn the
defogger off.
On some models, the system will automat-
ically shut off after the defogger has oper-
ated about 15 minutes.Make sure you turn the defogger off when
the window is clear. Leaving the defogger
on for a long time could cause the battery
to discharge, especially during stop and
go driving. The defogger is not designed
for drying rain water or for melting snow.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, turn the switch off
when the engine is not running.
When cleaning the inside of the
rear window, be careful not to
scratch or damage the heater wires
or connectors.
