• Defrost mode automatically turns the air conditioning on to

dehumidify the air, and cannot be switched off. If defogging or
defrosting is not necessary, select a non-defrost mode and disengage
air conditioning to extend vehicle range.

• Air conditioning and heating functions are automatically switched off

(unless in defrost mode) when driving distance to empty is zero miles
(zero km). The interior fan continues to operate, however.

HEATED WINDOWS AND MIRRORS

Rear Window Defroster

Note: The vehicle must be in Ready to Drive for this feature to work.

The rear window defroster control is located on the climate control panel
and works to clear the rear window of fog and thin ice.

Press

to turn the rear window defroster on. An indicator light on

the control will illuminate when active. The rear window defroster turns
off automatically after a predetermined amount of time, if the system
detects a low battery condition or when you turn the ignition off or to
the accessory position. You can turn off the rear window defroster
manually, at any time, by pressing the control again.

If your vehicle is equipped with both rear defroster and heated mirrors,
the same control will activate both. Refer to Heated outside mirrors in
the Driver Controls chapter.

Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean the inside
of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside of the
rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines.
Your warranty does not cover this damage.

Heated Exterior Mirror

Note: Do not remove ice from the mirrors with a scraper or attempt to
readjust the mirror glass that has frozen in place. These actions could
cause damage to the glass and mirrors.

Note: Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products.

Both mirrors heat to remove ice, mist and fog when you turn the rear
window defroster on.
