Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog or frost from the rear window. It only works when the ignition is in ON/RUN.
(Rear Window Defogger):
Press to turn the rear window defogger on or off.
The rear window defogger stays on for about 15 minutes, before turning off if the vehicle is moving at a slower speed. At higher speeds, the rear window defogger may stay on continuously. With each additional press, the defogger runs for about 10 minutes. The defogger can also be turned off by turning off the engine.
The heated outside rearview mirrors turn on when the rear window defogger button is on and helps to clear fog or frost from the surface of the mirrors. See Heated Mirrors.
Notice: Do not try to clear frost
or other material from the inside
of the front windshield and rear
window with a razor blade or
anything else that is sharp.
This may damage the rear
window defogger grid and affect
your radio's ability to pick up
stations clearly. The repairs
would not be covered by your
warranty.
(Heated and Ventilated
Seats): Press to heat or ventilate
the seat. See Heated and Ventilated
Front Seats.
Remote Start Climate Control Operation: For vehicles with remote vehicle start, the climate control system automatically heats and cools the vehicle based on the temperature inside and outside of the vehicle. The climate control displays will be blank. See Remote Vehicle Start.
In cold weather the windshield defroster and/or rear window defogger automatically turn on.
If the vehicle has heated seats, they will also turn on.
When the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the climate control system returns to the settings used before the vehicle was last turned off.
The heated seats will turn off, if equipped.
