Rear window defroster

The rear window defroster uses a large
amount of power. To keep the battery
drain to a minimum, switch off the
defroster as soon as the rear window is
clear. The defroster is automatically
deactivated after approximately
6 to 17 minutes of operation depending on
the outside temperature.

Any accumulation of snow and ice should be

removed from the rear window before

driving. Visibility could otherwise be

!

If the rear window defroster switches
off too soon and the indicator lamp
starts flashing, this means that too
many electrical consumers are
operating simultaneously and there is
insufficient voltage in the battery. The
system responds automatically by
deactivating the rear window defroster.

As soon as the battery has sufficient
voltage, the rear window defroster
automatically switches on again.
