3 Electric rear window defogger switch
N00523700315
The electric rear window defogger can be used when the
engine is running.
The indicator light (A) will come on when you press the elec-
tric rear window defogger switch. Electric current will flow
through the heating wires on the rear window to help clear
away moisture or frost.
After about 20 minutes of operation, the system will shut off
automatically.
To switch the defogger OFF before 20 minutes have passed,
press the switch again. The indicator light will go out and the
defogger will turn off.
If you need the defogger for more than 20 minutes, press the
switch again. This will add 20 more minutes.
NOTE
If your vehicle is equipped with heated mirrors, mist can
also be removed from the outside rearview mirrors when
the rear window defogger switch is pressed. (Refer to
“Heated mirror” on page 3-84.)
CAUTION
!
The rear window defogger is not designed to melt
snow. Remove any snow manually before using the
rear window defogger.
Use the rear window defogger only after the engine
has started and is running. Be sure to turn the
defogger switch off immediately after the window is
clear to save on battery power.
Do not place stickers, tape, or other items that are
attached with adhesive over the grid wires on the
rear window.
When cleaning the inside rear window, use a soft
cloth and wipe lightly over the grid wires.

(Type 1, Type 2) and inside of the floor console box (Type 3).NOTE
If your vehicle is equipped with two 12 V power outlets,
both power outlets can be used simultaneously.

Be aware that using electronic equipment with the
engine off may run the battery down.
When the 12 V power outlet is not in use, be sure to
put on the plug or close the 12 V power outlet cover.
This will prevent the 12 V power outlet from becom-
ing dirty and possibly short-circuiting.
CAUTION

Be sure to use a “plug-in” type accessory operating
at 12 V and 120 W or less.
When using two 12 V power outlets simultaneously,
make sure that the total power consumption of these
does not exceed 120 W at 12 V.

4-6 Driving safety
4Safe driving techniques
N00629200078
Even this vehicle’s safety equipment, and your safest driving,
cannot guarantee that you can avoid an accident or injury.
However, if you give extra attention to the following areas, you
can better protect yourself and your passengers:

Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather
conditions. Leave plenty of stopping distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.

Before changing lanes, check your mirrors and use your
turn signal light.

While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicy-
clists, and pedestrians.

Always obey applicable laws and regulations. Be a polite
and alert driver. Always leave room for unexpected
events, such as sudden braking.

If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle
registration laws and make sure you will be able to get the
right fuel.
Driving during cold weather
N00629400458

Check the battery, including terminals and cables. During
extremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong.
Also, the battery power level may drop because more
power is used for cold starting and driving.
Before driving the vehicle, check to see if the engine runs
at the proper speed and if the headlights are as bright as
normally. Charge or replace the battery if necessary. Dur-
ing extreme cold weather, it is possible that a very low
battery could freeze.

Warm the engine sufficiently. After starting the engine,
allow a short warm-up time to distribute oil to all cylin-
ders and turbocharger. Then drive your vehicle slowly.

Stay at low speeds at first so that the transaxle, transfer
case and rear axle oil have time to spread to all the lubri-
cation points.

Manual transaxle can be harder to shift in cold weather
conditions. This is normal and shifting will get easier as
the transaxle warms up.
WA R N I N G
!
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas. Any
spark or flame can cause the battery to explode,
which could cause serious injury or death.
Always wear protective clothes and a face mask
when working with your battery, or let a skilled
mechanic do it.

During cold weather Salt and other chemicals spread on winter roads in some geo-
graphical areas can have a detrimental effect on the vehicle
underbody. You should flush the underbody with a high pres-
sure hose every time you wash the outside of your vehicle.
Take special care to remove mud or other debris which could
trap and hold salt and moisture.
After washing your vehicle, wipe off all waterdrops from the
rubber parts around the doors to prevent the doors from freez-
ing.
CAUTION
!
When washing the underside of your vehicle or the
wheels, wear a pair of gloves to protect your hands.
If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers, place the
wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position to deacti-
vate the rain sensor before washing the vehicle. Oth-
erwise, the wipers will operate in the presence of
water spray on the windshield and may get damaged
as a result.
Never spray or splash water on the electrical parts
in the engine compartment. This may damage them.
Be careful also when washing the underbody. Do not
spray water into the engine compartment.
Avoid automatic car washers that use rotating
brushes. These brushes may scratch the paint sur-
face and make it dull.
Scratches are more noticeable on darker colored
vehicles.
Some hot water washing equipment uses high pres-
sure and heat to clean your vehicle. This heated
water may damage your vehicle’s resin parts. It can
flood the interior of the vehicle. Therefore, be sure
of the following:
• Keep the washing nozzle at least 20 inches (50 cm)
away from the vehicle body.
• When washing around the door glass, hold the
nozzle at a distance of more than 20 inches (50 cm)
and at right angles to the glass surface.

When using high-pressure water to wash a vehicle
equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key system, keep the
water from spraying on the open button on the rear
hatch. This could cause the rear hatch to open and
flood the inside of the rear hatch.
Make sure to do the following when using an auto-
matic car wash, with help from either this manual or
the car wash operator, to avoid damaging your vehi-
cle:
• Fold the outside rear-view mirrors.
• Put down (except for vehicles equipped with SIR-
IUS satellite radio antenna only) or remove the
antenna.
• If your vehicle is equipped with rear spoiler, check
with the car wash operator before using the car
wash.
• If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers, place the
wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position to deacti-
vate the rain sensor.CAUTION
