2008 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR Ignition

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER
The rear defroster control is located
on the climate control panel and
works to clear the rear window of
fog and thin ice.
The engine must be running in
order to operate the rear window
defroster.
The rear defroster turns off automatically after 15 minutes or when the
ignition is turned to the 1 (LOCK) position. To manually turn off the
defroster before 15 minutes have passed, push the control again.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean the inside
of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside of the
rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines and
will not be covered by your warranty.

BULB REPLACEMENT
Headlamp Condensation
The headlamps are vented to equalize pressure. When moist air enters
the headlamp(s) through the vents, there is a possibility that
condensation can occur. This condensation is normal and will clear
within 45 minutes of headlamp operation.
Using the right bulbs
Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs
must be marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for North America to ensure
lamp performance, light brightness and pattern and safe visibility. The
correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly or void the lamp
assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn time.
