Kia Seltos: Features of your vehicle / Defroster

Contents:

• Rear window defroster
• Outside rearview mirror defroster

The Kia Seltos is equipped with a defroster system designed to help remove frost, fog, and light ice from the rear window for better rear visibility.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the conductors bonded to the inside surface of the rear window, never use sharp tools or abrasive window cleaners to clean the glass.

If you need to defrost or defog the front windshield, use the windshield defogging and defrosting controls.

Rear window defroster

The rear window defroster heats the glass to remove frost, fog, and thin ice while the engine is running. To activate the rear window defroster in the Kia Seltos, press the rear window defroster button.

The indicator on the rear window defroster button illuminates when the defroster is ON.

If there is heavy snow on the rear window, brush it off before operating the rear defroster for better performance and to reduce electrical load.

To activate the rear window defroster:

• Press the rear window defroster button located on the heater control panel. The indicator on the button appears when the defroster is ON.

  The rear window defroster automatically turns off after approximately 20 minutes or when the ENGINE START/STOP button is turned off.

To turn off the defroster:

• Press the rear window defroster button again.

Outside rearview mirror defroster

If your Kia Seltos is equipped with outside rearview mirror defrosters, they operate at the same time as the rear window defroster. This helps clear fog, frost, or light ice from the mirror glass.
