s1seifert Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 After searching high and low, I am unable to locate the switch for the rear window defroster on a 2013 CMax Hybrid SEL. The manual discusses the switch, but does not indicate where it is located. Can anyone help....please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s1seifert Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Thanks, Wngrinder. I thought that was the front windshield defroster switch. I'll give it a go the next time I have frost on the rear window. Thanks again. Edited February 6, 2013 by s1seifert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhackwyatt Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Rear window is usually square, and front windshield has an arc to the outline. You can see the diff for the washer fluid controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaners Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 The rear defrost will also operate the heated side mirrors too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violetwrites Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Can anyone show a photo of how to locate this rear window defogger button because I still cannot locate. Also I have no idea how to activate the rear window washer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I have no idea how to activate the rear window washer. Since this lower panel isn't covered much in the owners manual... Mind you this is on a 2013. I think some later model years like '17 and '18s changed this up? From left to right: Passenger Airbag light (not a button) EV Mode - Switch between EV Auto, EV Now, and EV Later (for Energi models only) Rear Defrost (also activates side mirror defrost if equipped. You should see a defrost icon on the mirror glass itself if equipped.) Fuel filler door release Automatic parallel park Parking sensor disable Hatch release The last three buttons you may or may not have depending on equipped features. The hatch release may only be on cars equipped with the power liftgate. Rear washer is covered in the owners manual: Edited February 5, 2022 by cr08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
