minutes. If the window clears before that time, push
the button to turn it off. It also turns off when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.

again.

cleaner containing abrasives to clean the inner
surface of the rear window. They may damage
the conductors printed on the window.

charged, do not operate the defogger continu-
ously for any longer than necessary.
