The heated rear window is activated manually by pressing a button on the ACC panel or automatically by the ACC. The heated rear window and door mirrors are activated provided the car's engine is running (s as not to discharge the battery). The rear window is normally heated for 12 minutes via current passing through its heating wires.

The heating wires are used as an antenna for the audio system.
