Note:

Heavy accumulation of snow and ice should be removed

The rear window defroster uses a large amount of power.
To keep the battery drain to a minimum, turn off the
defroster as soon as the window is clear.

The defroster is automatically turned off after a
maximum of 12 minutes of operation.

If several power consumers are turned on
simultaneously, or the battery is only partially charged,
it is possible that the defroster will automatically turn
itself off. When this happens, the indicator lamp inside
the switch starts blinking.

As soon as the battery has sufficient voltage, the
defroster automatically turns itself back on.
