The windshield wiper de-icer is a heating element located at the base of the windshield.
The windshield wiper de-icer operates automatically once the following conditions are met:
The wiper de-icer activates automatically during a cold weather manual start with full defrost, and when the ambient temperature is below 33 F (0.6 C).
The wiper de-icer activates automatically when the Rear Defrost is operating and the ambient temperature is below 33 F (0.6 C).
When the Remote Start is activated and the outside ambient temperature is less than 33 F (0.6 C) the windshield wiper de-icer is activated. Upon exiting Remote Start, the climate control functions will resume their previous operation except, if the de-icer is active, the de-icer timer and operation will continue.
