Rear Window Defogger The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog from the rear window. Outlet Adjustment Use the air outlets located in the center and on the side of the instrument panel to direct the airflow. < (Rear Window Defogger): Press to turn the rear window defogger on or off. It automatically turns off after it has been activated. The defogger can also be turned off by turning off the engine. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear. 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. Heated Mirrors: For vehicles with heated outside rearview mirrors, the mirrors heat to help clear fog or frost from the surface of the mirror when the rear window defog button is pressed. See Outside Heated Mirrors on page 3‑45. Heated or Cooled Seats: For vehicles with heated and cooled seats, see Heated and Cooled Seats on page 2‑5. Operation Tips . Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice, snow, or any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater and defroster will work far better, reducing the chance of fogging the inside of the windows. When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, press the fan up button to the maximum fan level before driving. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the inside of the window. Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helps air to circulate throughout the vehicle. Adding outside equipment to the front of the vehicle, such as hood-air deflectors, may affect the performance of the heating and air conditioning system. Check with your dealer before adding equipment to the outside of the vehicle. . . . 4-25
