WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fog-
ging up
●Do not use during cool air
operation in extremely humid weather.

ture of the outside air and that of the
windshield can cause the outer surface
of the windshield to fog up, blocking
your vision.
●Do not place anything on the instru-
ment panel which may cover the air
outlets. Otherwise, air flow may be
obstructed, preventing the windshield
defoggers from defogging.
■To prevent burns
●Do not touch the rear view mirror sur-
faces when the outside rear view mir-
ror defoggers are on.
●Do not touch the glass at lower part of
the windshield or to the side of the

other potential harm.
 It is recommended that a new bat-
tery be placed in the remote control
transmitter for more accurate pro-
gramming.
 Garage door opener motors manu-
factured after 1995 may be
equipped with rolling code protec-
tion. If this is the case, you may need
