6.11. Windscreen deicer switch (where fitted)
The deicer is used to remove ice from the windscreen when a wiper is frozen to the windscreen.
To defrost the windscreen, start the EV system and push the switch located in the heater and air conditioner control panel. The indicator light (A) illuminates and the deicer operates for approximately 20 minutes. The rear window defogger will activate at the same time. After the preset time has passed, the deicer will turn off automatically. To turn off the deicer manually, push the deicer switch again, and the indicator light turns off.
When operating the deicer continuously, be sure to start the EV system. Otherwise, it may cause the battery to discharge.
When cleaning the inner side of the window, be careful not to scratch or damage the electrical conductors on the surface of the window.
