Rear Window Defogger

The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog from the rear window.

<: The rear window defogger will turn off approximately 20 minutes after the button is pressed. If turned on again, the defogger will run for the same amount of time. The defogger can also be turned off by pressing the button again or by turning off the engine.

Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.

If your vehicle has heated outside rearview mirrors, the mirrors will heat to help clear fog or frost from the surface of the mirror when the rear window defog button is pressed.

Notice: Don’t use anything sharp on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you could cut or damage the warming grid, and the repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty. Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything similar

to the defogger grid.

Outlet Adjustment

Use the knob located below or to the side of the outlet, to change the direction of the air flow.

Operation Tips

Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air inlets at the base of the windshield that may block the flow of air into your vehicle.

Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors may adversely affect the performance of the system.

Keep the path under the front seats clear of objects to help circulate the air inside your vehicle more effectively.

If the airflow seems low when the fan is at the highest setting, the passenger compartment air filter, if equipped, may need to replaced. For more information, see Passenger Compartment Air Filter on page 3-25and Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4.
