- (2) To avoid discharging the battery, do not operate the rear window defroster while starting the engine or when the engine is off. Turn off the heater as soon as you clean the glass.
- (3) To clean the inside of the rear window, use a soft cloth and wipe the glass gently along the defroster wires to avoid damaging them.
- (4) Do not place objects near the rear window that could accidentally touch the defroster wires and damage them.
