Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
The rear window defogger only works when the
engine is running.
=(Rear Window Defogger):Press to turn the
rear window defogger on or off. Be sure to clear as
much snow from the rear window as possible.
An indicator light comes on to show that the rear
window defogger is on.
The rear window defogger turns off about 10 minutes
after the button is pressed when traveling less than
30 mph (48 km/h). If turned on again, the defogger only
runs for about ve minutes before turning off. The
defogger can also be turned off by turning off the engine.
The vehicle has heated outside rearview mirrors.
The mirrors will heat to help clear fog or frost from the
surface of the mirrors when the rear window defogger
button is pressed.
For vehicles with a power convertible top, the rear
window defogger and heated mirrors are automatically
disabled when the power convertible top is moving
or down.Notice:Do not use anything sharp on the inside of
the rear window. If you do, you could cut or
damage the warming grid, and the repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not attach
a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or
anything similar to the defogger grid.Outlet Adjustment

direction of the airow.
