Rear Window Defroster
The switch is located in the center
console.
Turn key in steering lock to position
1 or 2.
When activating the rear window
defroster, the indicator lamp in the
switch will come on.
Note:
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 20 minutes of
operation.
Heavy accumulation of snow and ice
should be removed before activating the
defroster.
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.
