REAR WINDOW AND OUTSIDEREAR VIEW MIRRORDEFOGGER SWITCH
To turn the electric rear window defogger on, push the
switch.
The ignition key must be in the ºONº 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. 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
40
CAUTION
Since the mirror surfaces can get hot, keep your hands off
them when the switch is on.
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.
POWER WINDOW SWITCHES

SWITCHES
45
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.
SEAT HEATER SWITCHES

SWITCHES
46
The seat heater has two switches. Push these switches on
the left side to turn the respective seat heater on, and push
the switches on the right side to turn them off.
The ignition key must be in the ºONº position.

SWITCHES
47
CAUTION
Occupants must use caution when operating the seat heater
because they may experience minor burns even at low
temperatures. Use extra caution for;

Baby, small child, elderly person, sick person or
handicapped person

Persons who have delicate skin

Persons who are exhausted

Persons who have taken alcohol or drugs which induce
sleep (sleeping drug, cold remedy, etc.).
To prevent the seat from overheating, do not use the seat
heater with a blanket, cushion, or other insulating objects
which cover the seat.
NOTICE

Do not put unevenly weighted objects on the seat and
do not stick sharp objects (needles, nails, etc.) into the
seat.

When cleaning the seats, do not use organic
substances (paint thinner, benzine, alcohol, gasoline,
etc.). They may damage the heater and seat surface.

To prevent the battery from being discharging, turn
the switches on when the engine is running.

COMFORT ADJUSTMENT
109
OUTSIDE REAR VIEWMIRRORS
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 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 113.
When you push the rear window defogger switch, the heater
panels in the outside rear view mirrors will quickly clear the
mirror surface.
