Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
< (Rear): Press to turn the rear window defogger on
or off. An indicator light comes on to show that the rear
window defogger is on.
If driving below 50 mph (80 km/h), the rear window
defogger turns off about 15 minutes after the button is
pressed. If additional warming time is needed, press the
button again.
If the vehicle’s speed is maintained above 50 mph
(80 km/h), the rear window defogger remains on once
the button is pressed.
For vehicles with heated outside mirrors, the surface of
the outside mirrors will also heat when the rear window
defogger is activated. See Outside Power Mirrors on
page 2-37.
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.
Remote Start Climate Control Operation
For vehicles with remote start, when it is activated the
climate control system heats and cools the inside of the
vehicle using the previous system settings before the
vehicle was turned off. The climate control knobs will
remain active during a remote start. However, the climate
control buttons will be inactive until the ignition is turned
on by the key. If the fan is off, the climate control system
will not operate during remote start.
With the automatic climate control system, the
climate control displays “RS” in place of the temperature
to indicate that remote start is activated. For best
performance, turn both the fan and mode knobs to AUTO.
If the temperature is cold enough and the mode knob is
set to AUTO, the system begins in defrost to clear the
windows. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation on page 2-5.
Outlet Adjustment
There are four main air outlets on the instrument panel.
Move the lever located in the center of each outlet
side-to-side or up and down, to change the direction and
amount of airflow in the vehicle. The center thumbwheel
does not control the main outlets.
