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.

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.
