The optional rear window defogger system consists of a
tinted window that has the following components:
| • | A number of horizontal ceramic silver compound element lines |
These components are baked into the inside surface when the window is
formed. The feed wire terminal is soldered to the bus bar on the driver's
side. The ground wire terminal is soldered to the bus bar on the passenger
side.
The system operates on 12 volts. Under some conditions, heat
from the window may not be detected by finger touch. The length of time required
to remove interior fog from the rear window will vary with such conditions
as the following:
| • | Outside window temperature |
| • | The number of passengers |
This system uses a switch mounted on the instrument panel, and an integral
indicator lamp. The system will operate for approximately 10 minutes.
Then an automatic timer will turn the system off. If activated for a second
time, the system will operate for approximately 5 minutes, then turn
off. In order to turn off the system during this operating period, use one
of the following methods:
| • | Manually turn the switch to OFF |
