If there is heavy accumulation of snow on the rear window, brush it off before operating the rear defroster.
The rear window defroster automatically turns off after approximately 20 minutes or when the ignition switch is turned off.
To turn off the defroster, press the rear window defroster button again.
Front windshield deicer (if equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the front windshield deicer, it will be operating at the same time you operate the rear window defroster.
