HEADLIGHT CLEANER SWITCH
(CANADA ONLY)
To spray fluid on the headlights, push the switch with
the headlights on.
The ignition key must be in the ªONº position.
The low washer fluid warning light in the instrument cluster
comes on when the fluid level in the tank becomes nearly
empty. For information on adding washer fluid, see ªAdding
washer fluidº on page 224.

Do not turn the headlight cleaner on with the tank
empty. It may cause the cleaner motor to overheat.

REAR VIEW MIRROR DEFOGGER
SWITCH
To turn the electric rear window defogger on, push the
switch.
The ignition key must be in the ªONº 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.

SWITCHES
21 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.
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do
not operate the defogger continuously longer than
necessary.
