REAR WINDOW AND OUTSIDE
REAR VIEW MIRROR DEFOGGER
SWITCH
To turn the electric rear window defogger on, push the
switch.
The ignition key must be in the “ON” position.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the rear window and the
heater panels in the outside rear view mirrors will quickly clear
the surface. Keep your hands off the mirror faces when the
switch is on. An indicator light is on when the defogger is
operating.
The system will automatically shut off when the defogger has
operated about 15 minutes.If further defrosting or defogging is desired, simply actuate the
switch again. When the surface has cleared, push the switch
once again to turn the defogger off. Continuous use may cause
the battery to discharge, especially during stop-and-go driving.
The defogger is not designed to dry rain water or to melt snow.
If the outside rear view mirrors are heavily coated with ice, use
a spray de-icer before operating the switch.
NOTICE:
When cleaning the inside of the rear window, be careful
not to scratch or damage the heater wires.
POWER WINDOW SWITCHES
To raise or lower the windows, use the switch on each
door. The passengers’ windows can also be controlled by
the switches on the driver’s door.

22The ignition key must be in the “ON” position. However, even
if the ignition key is turned to “OFF” position, the window can
be operated until a front door is opened (or for about sixty
seconds).
Operating the driver’s switch
To lower the window, push the switch halfway down. Pull
it up to raise the window. The window glass moves as long
as the switch is operated.
To fully lower the driver’s window automatically, push the
switch fully down.
In automatic operation, the window will fully open even if you
let go of the switch. To stop the window partway, lightly pull the
switch up and then release it.
Operating the passengers’ switches
To lower the window, push the switch down. Pull it up to
raise the window. The window moves as long as the
switch is operated.
With the “WINDOW LOCK” switch pressed in, only the
driver’s window can be raised or lowered.
The indicator lights on the switch tell you which of the switches
can be operated.

23 CAUTION:
To avoid serious personal injury, you must do the
following.

Always make sure the head, hands and other parts of
the body of all occupants are kept completely inside the
vehicle before you close the power windows. If
someone’s neck, head or hands gets caught in a
closing window, it could result in a serious injury. When
anyone closes the power windows, be sure that they
operate the windows safely.

When small children are in the vehicle, never let them
use the power window switches without supervision.
Use the “WINDOW LOCK” switch to prevent them from
making unexpected use of the switches.

Never leave small children alone in the vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still inserted. They
could use the power window switches and get trapped
in a window. Unattended children can become involved
in serious accidents.
EMERGENCY FLASHER SWITCH
To turn on the emergency flashers, push the switch.
All the turn signal lights will flash. The emergency flashers will
work with the engine running or off and with or without the
ignition key.
Turn on the emergency flashers to warn other drivers if you
must stop your vehicle where it might be a traffic hazard.
Always pull your vehicle as far off the road as possible.
The turn signal light switch will not work when the emergency
flashers are in operation.
NOTICE:
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the switch on longer than necessary when the
engine is not running.
