Rear Window Defrost

This is a Rear Window Defrost Indicator symbol. Seen in yellow/amber, it appears when the rear window defroster is active as a reminder. In most cases, the defroster will turn itself off after a pre-set period of time.

  • Before continuing, are you sure this is your symbol?? If yes, then read on below.
  • Otherwise, you can return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

It is seen in a warning color (yellow/amber) in case the defroster remains on too long, which can harm the system. The symbol will match the symbol found on the defroster switch.

Remember that only proper service and repair procedures will ensure the safe and reliable operation of your car. In addition, proper safety procedures and precautions, such as the  use of safety goggles, the right tools and the equipment should be followed at all times to eliminate the possibility of personal injury or improper service which could damage the vehicle or compromise its safety.

Technology is always changing and what is current and accurate today may be literally out-of-date and inaccurate tomorrow. And when it comes to the current state of flux in the auto industry, nothing is more true.
