Rear Window Defogger The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog or frost from the rear window. Automatic Climate Control System If your vehicle has this system, you can automatically control the heating, cooling and ventilation in your vehicle. < REAR: Press this button to turn the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator light will come on to let you know that the rear window defogger is activated. Be sure to clear as much snow from the rear window as possible. If driving below 50 mph (80 kph), the rear window defogger will turn off about 15 minutes after the button is pressed. If turned on again, the defogger will only run for about seven minutes before turning off. The defogger can also be turned off by pressing the button again or by turning off the engine. If your vehicle's speed is maintained above 50 mph (80 km/h), the rear window defogger will remain on once the button is pressed. Notice: Don't use anything sharp on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you could cut or damage the warming grid, and the repairs wouldn't be covered by your warranty. Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything similar to the defogger grid. Automatic Operation AUTO (Automatic): Select AUTO on both the fan control and the mode control knobs to activate the automatic system. When automatic operation is active the system will control the inside temperature and air delivery. 3-25
