The windshield wiper de-icer operates automatically once the following conditions are met: • Activation By Front Defrost The wiper de-icer activates automatically during a cold weather manual start with full defrost, the blower speed is greater than five, and when the ambient temperature is below 40° F (4.4° C). • Activation By Rear Defrost The wiper de-icer activates automatically when the Rear Defrost is operating and the ambient temperature is below 40° F (4.4° C). • Activation By Remote Start Operation When the Remote Start is activated and the outside ambient temperature is less than 40° F (4.4° C) the windshield wiper de-icer is activated. Upon exiting Remote Start, the climate control functions will resume their previous operation except, if the de-icer is active, the de-icer timer and operation will continue. 56
