Heated Glass - Description






DESCRIPTION

CAUTION: Grid lines can be damaged or scraped off with sharp instruments. Care should be taken in cleaning glass or removing foreign materials, decals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning solvents or hot water used with rags or toweling is recommended.





The rear window defogger system, also known as electric backlight (EBL), consists of two vertical bus bars (1) linked by a series of grid lines (2) fired onto the inside surface of the rear window (3).

The EBL system is turned On or Off by a switch and timing circuit integral to the A/C-heater control located at the center of the instrument panel.

Circuit protection is provided by two cartridge fuses located in the power distribution center (PDC). One fuse is for the heated rear window grid circuit and the other fuse is for the heated outside mirror grid circuit, when equipped.
