► Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the
ignition lock.
► Press the
button.
The indicator lamp in the button

up or goes out.
Problems with the rear window defroster

defroster button flashes, the on-board
voltage is too low or the roof is open. The rear
window defroster has deactivated itself
prematurely or cannot be activated.

When the battery is sufficiently charged, the rear window defroster is activated again automatically.
