Outlet Adjustment Use the knobs located in the center of each outlet to change the direction of the airflow. Use the thumbwheels to open or close the outlets. < (Rear Defogger): Press the center of the right control to turn the rear window defogger on or off. Be sure to clear as much snow from the rear window as possible. The rear window defogger turns off about 20 minutes after the button is first pressed if the vehicle is moving at slower speeds. At higher vehicle speeds, the rear defogger can stay on continuously. Each additional press runs the defogger for about 10 minutes. The heated outside rearview mirrors also heat to help clear fog or frost from the surface of the mirror when the rear window defogger is on. Notice: Do not use a razor blade or sharp object to clear the inside rear window. Do not adhere anything to the defogger grid lines in the rear glass. These actions may damage the rear defogger. Repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
