WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Suzuki SX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

When cleaning rear end door window glass, use a dry cloth to wipe it along heat wire (1) direction.
When cleaning glass, do not use detergent or abrasive-containing glass cleaner.
When measuring wire voltage, use a tester with positive probe (2) wrapped with a tin foil (3) which should be held down on wire by finger pressure.
