Rear Window DefoggerThe rear window defogger clears fog,
frost, and thin ice from the window.
Push the defogger button to turn it on
and off. The indicator in the button
comes on to show the defogger is on. If
you do not turn it off, the defogger will
shut itself off within about 5 to 30
minutes according to the outside
temperature. It also shuts off when you
turn off the ignition switch. You have to
turn it on again when you restart the
vehicle.
In cold weather, the defogger will not
automatically shut itself off. You must
manually shut off the rear window
defogger when it is no longer
needed.
Make sure the rear window is clear
and you have good visibility before
starting to drive.
The defogger wires on the inside of
the rear window can be accidentally
damaged. When cleaning the glass,
always wipe side-to-side.
Pushing this button also turns the
mirror heaters on or off. For more
information, see page 147.Hazard Warning Button

vents to turn on the hazard warning
lights (four-way flashers). This

panel to flash. Use the hazard
warning lights if you need to park in
a dangerous area near heavy traffic,
or if your vehicle is disabled.
