Is there an special option to have the button for rear window heater (de-icer)?... My limited edition haven't.

 

[flyingn]

sure is... Its down on the 3 round hvac controls below the radio. Its the one on the far right button. If ya still cannot find it take a look in the owners manual. Its show you exactly where it is.

Vallesj--Do you have those lines in the back window? Some parts of the world don't even get that option. The new 4.3 even have one for the windshield wipers here in Canada.

Later. M.

This is strange... the rear window has the lines normally for heating the window, but on the place supposed to be the button for turning on is not there... there is just the button for downhill assistance, and the aux 12v power... but there is no button, could be something m issing from the factory or an option that I need to add?

Kelly, why can't be posted the pictures of my album? I followed your instructions on the FAQ.

[Reply from Kelly --> My fault... I had a setting wrong in our admin panel, sorry! :roll: FIXED ]

Do you have any buttons in the center of the 3 heater controls?

 

[flyingn]

like I said the button for thr rear window defogger is on the 3 round hvac controls NOT on the console where the downhill assist buttens are.. Your looking in the wrong place.. LOOK IN YOUR OWNERS MANUAL.

You guys gotta listen to flyingn more often :lol:

Here's the rear window defrost button on the 2006 Limiteds :arrow:

 

[flyingn]

thank you Kelly. Sometimes I feel like i'm banging my head against the wall lol

 

[RAVMAN]

:wall :lol:

I do gotta say... this rear window defogger button doesn't jump right out at you as being for the REAR window. It looks more like some sort of HVAC control :? Well... I guess it is a HEATING button :roll:

Question? :arrow: Does this button ALSO defrost the MIRRORS on the LIMITED models?

 

[flyingn]

yes It does kelly. And it works nice too

 

[vigil]

It works great at defogging the side view mirror, even better than the rear window I might say.

I will say though, that while the icon on the button is pretty standard, it does kind of blend in with the rest of the switch-gear.

I've always lived in New England, and that button in any vehicle is part of life, and I had to read the manual twice to remember which button to press to activate the heating elements. Might just be me though... :lol:

Think of the icon this way....your back window is square so the icon is square. For the front defroster, it is the shape of your windshield i.e. not square so it is the other button.

 

[vigil]

Good way to look at it Kuj.

For me personally, it was more a matter of all past cars I have used/owned for any period of time that I needed the rear defrosters, the button or switch was always independent from the HVAC controls.

This is my first real experience with a Japanese car. Experienced with VW's, Audi's and American cars.

For those with more experience with Japanese cars, is this a normal location for this button to be integrated with the HVAC switchgear in Japanese cars?

The back window is square but the icon for the front window is upside down. I know its like this in most cars but I still find it strange.

 

[flyingn]

did you read KUJ's explaination? Thats why they are shaped like they are. Its not 'up side down'

If you take a look at your windshield either from the inside or the outside which part of it is longer, the base or the top of the windshield? Now does it look upside down?

 

[vallesj]

Thanks for the information, this is also my first time with that kind of drawing for the de-icer.... it is very similar as the windshield... but thanks everyone.

Kelly, thanks for fixing the problem for posting pictures..
