Rear Window Defogger
If your vehicle has this feature, the lines you see on
the rear window warm the glass. The rear window
defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog from the
rear window.
<(Rear):Press this button to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. An indicator light in the button
will come on to let you know that the rear window
defogger is activated.
The rear window defogger will turn off about 10 minutes
after the button is pressed. If you need additional
warming time, press the button again.
If your vehicle is equipped with heated mirrors, this
button will activate them.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp object
to clear the inside rear window. Do not adhere
anything to the defogger grid lines in the rear glass.
These actions may damage the rear defogger.
Repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the air outlets located in the center and on the side
of your instrument panel to direct the airow.
Operation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlets 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 knob all the way to the right for a few moments
before driving. This helps clear the intake ducts
of snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside of your window.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
Adding outside equipment to the front of your
vehicle, such as hood-air deectors, may affect the
performance of the heating and air conditioning
system. Check with your dealer before adding
equipment to the outside of your vehicle.

6. Turn the wheel wrench clockwise to raise the tire.
After raising the tire halfway upward, check to
make sure the retainer is still seated properly across
the wheel opening and that the tire is level with
the underside of the vehicle.
7. Continue raising the tire until it is fully against the
underside of the vehicle and you hear two clicks
or feel it skip twice. You cannot overtighten
the cable.
8. For the Z71 model, to ensure that the tire is level
and positioned properly in the spare tire well, turn
the wheel wrench counterclockwise two turns
to slightly loosen the tire and wheel assembly.
Grasp the tire and make needed adjustments
to ensure that the tire is completely level and
properly positioned in the spare tire well.
Repeat Step 7.
9. Make sure the tire is stored securely. Push, pull (A),
and then try to turn (B) the tire. If the tire moves,
use the wheel wrench to tighten the cable.
10. Reinstall the spare tire lock (if equipped).
