WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHERSWITCH
SS12013b

1Interval adjuster 2Washer on
To turn the wipers on, move the lever down until you reach
the desired speed setting.
The ignition key must be in the ºONº position.
There are 3 settings:
ºINTº position: Intermittent operation
ºLOº position: Low speed operation
ºHIº position: High speed operation
Twist the interval adjuster upward to increase the wiping
time interval between sweeps, and downward to decrease
it.
The wiper lever must be in the ºINTº position. For mist wiper operations (a single wipe), pull the lever
toward you and release it.
To make the washer squirt, push the button on the end of
the lever.
For information on adding washer fluid, see ºAdding washer
fluidº on page 354.
Some m
odels: If you push the windshield washer switch with
the headlights on, the headlight cleaner operates once
automatically.
In cold weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before
using the washer. This will help prevent icing, which could
block your vision.
The rear window and outside rear view mirror defogger
automatically turns on when you operate the wipers.
NOTICE
Do not operate the wipers if the windshield is dry. It may scratch the glass.

the headlights on, the headlight cleaner operates once
automatically.
NOTICE
Do not turn the headlight cleaner on with the washer

COMFORT ADJUSTMENT

TILT STEERING WHEEL
SV16064
To change the steering wheel angle, hold the steering
wheel, pull the lock release lever toward you, tilt the
steering wheel to the desired angle and release the lever.
When the steering wheel is in a low position, it will spring up as
you release the lock release lever.
CAUTION
 Do not adjust the steering wheel while the vehicle is
moving. Doing so may cause the driver to mishandle
the vehicle and an accident may occur resulting in
death or injuries.
 After adjusting the steering wheel, try moving it up
and down to make sure it is locked in position.
OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS
SV16010
Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the side of your
vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or distance of any object seen
in the outside rear view mirror on the passenger's side. It is a
convex mirror with a curved surface. Any object seen in a
convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than if seen in
a normal flat mirror.
When you push the rear window and outside rear view mirror
defogger switch or operate the wipers, the heater panels in the
outside rear view mirrors will quickly clear the mirror surface.
(See º Rear window and outside rear view mirror defogger, and
windshield wiper deicer switchº on page 34.)
Some models: When the inside rear view mirror darkens in
ºAUTOº mode, the outside rear view mirrors also darken to
reduce the reflection of the headlights of the following vehicle.
For details, see ºInside rear view mirrorº on page 108.

AIR CONDITIONING
185
If manual fan speed control is desired ±
SV21023

1Fan speed at low 2Fan speed at high
The fan speed can be set to your desired speed by turning the
fan speed control dial. The higher the fan speed is, the more
air is delivered. Turning the dial to ºOFFº turns off the fan.
To remove exterior windshield frost, use the high speed
setting.
If manual switching of air intake is desired ±
SV21024a
The air intake control button is used to switch the air intake
between the OUTSIDE AIR mode and RECIRCULATED AIR
mode.
With the button in the OUTSIDE AIR mode, the OUTSIDE AIR
mode ind
icator light will come on and the system will take fresh
outside air into the vehicle.
If quick circulation of cooled air is desired, push the air intake
control button for RECIRCULATED AIR. The
RECIRCULATED AIR mode indicator light will come on.
For normal use, it is best to keep the air intake control button
set to OUTSIDE AIR mode. If recirculated air is used during
heating, the windows will fog up more easily.
When you adjust the airflow control dial and the fan speed
control dial to ºAUTOº positions in case that the room
temperature is much higher than the set temperature, the air
intake mode will be automatically changed to
RECIRCULATED AIR.
