Before turning on the windshield wiper deicer, remove any snow from the
windshield. To turn on the windshield wiper deicer, push the switch. The
indicator light located on the switch lights up while the windshield wiper
deicer is operating.
The windshield wiper deicer will automatically shut off after about 15 min-
utes. If the wiper blades have been deiced completely before that time,
push the switch to turn it off. It also turns off when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position. If deicing is not complete when
you restart your vehicle, you have to push the switch to turn the deicer
on again.
