the surface of the mirror. See
Heated Mirrors on page 2-17.
{Caution
Do not try to clear frost or other
material from the inside of the
front windshield and rear window

default to an appropriate heating or
cooling mode. See Remote Start on
page 2-8.
The rear window defogger turns on
if it is cold outside.
Compressor
The vehicle has an electric powered
air conditioning compressor. This
allows for continuous air
conditioning and/or high voltage
battery cooling operation, without
running the engine.
The compressor operating speed is
not tied to the engine speed, so
some noise may be heard from the
compressor, especially when air
conditioning use is high and the
engine has turned off. This is
normal.
