ilation Ti0 Rear Window Defogger The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog from the rear window. Press the button to turn the defogger on. For mild outside temperatures when little heating or cooling is needed, use VENT to direct outside air through your vehicle. Keep the hood and front air inlet 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 your windows. When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, set the mode to FLOOR and the fan to the highest speed for a few moments before driving off. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow and moisture and reduces the chance of fogging the inside of your windows. Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle. 0 0 I It will turn itself off after about ten minutes. If you turn it on again, the defogger will only run for about five minutes before turning off. You can also turn it off by turning off the ignition or pressing the button again. 0 Defogging and Defrosting Your system has two settings for clearingthe front and side windows.
