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.

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.

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.
