„Rear window wiper and wash- er switch
: Washer (accompanied by wiper opera-tion)
ON: Continuous
INT: Intermittent
OFF: Park : Washer (accompanied by wiper opera-tion)
T Rear wiper
To turn the rear wiper on, turn the knob on
the end of the wiper control lever upward
to the “INT” or “ON” position.
To turn the wiper off, return the knob on
the end of the lever to the “OFF” position.
With the switch turned to the “INT” posi-
tion, the rear wiper will operate intermit-
tently at intervals corresponding to the ve- hicle speed (longer when the vehicle
speed is low; shorter when the vehicle
speed is high).
When you subsequently move the selec-
tor lever of the automatic transmission to
the “R” position, the rear wiper will switch
to continuous operation. When you move
the selector lever from the “R” position to
some other position, the rear wiper will re-
turn to intermittent operation. T
Washer
To wash the rear window while the rear
wiper is operating, turn the knob on the
end of the wiper control lever upward to
the “ ” position. The washer fluid
sprays until you release the knob.
To wash the rear window when the rear
wiper is not in use, turn the knob on the
end of the wiper control lever downward to
the “ ” position. The washer fluid
sprays and the wiper operates until you
release the knob.Windshield wiper deicer
The windshield wiper deicer operates only
when the ignition switch is in the “ON” po-
sition.
Before turning on the windshield wiper de-
icer, remove any snow from the wind-
shield. To turn on the windshield wiper de-
icer, push the button. The indicator light
located on the button lights up while the
windshield wiper deicer is operating.
The windshield wiper deicer will automati-
cally shut off after approximately 15 min-
utes. If the windshield wiper blades have
been deiced completely before that time,
push the button to turn it off. It also turns
off when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ACC” or “LOCK” position. If deicing is not

complete, you have to push the button to
turn the deicer on again.
Your SUBARU dealer can set your wind-
shield wiper deicer for continuous opera-
tion. Contact your SUBARU dealer for de- tails.
Once the windshield wiper deicer has
been set for continuous operation, press-
ing the button results in continuous opera-
tion. The windshield wiper deicer automat-
ically stops operating if any one of the fol-
lowing conditions occurs during continu-
ous operation. y
The outside temperature becomes 41 °F
(5 °C) or higher.
y The vehicle speed remains at 9 mph (15
km/h) or lower for 15 minutes.y The battery voltage decreases below
the permissible level. Rear window defogger but-
ton
The rear window defogger operates only
when the ignition switch is in the “ON” po- sition.
The rear window defogger button is locat-
ed on the climate control panel.
To turn on the defogger, push the button.
To turn it off, push the button again.
The indicator light located on the button
lights up while the rear window defogger is
operating.
The defogger will automatically shut off af-
ter approximately 15 minutes. If the win-
dow clears before that time, push the but-
ton to turn it off. It also turns off when theignition switch is turned to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position. If defrosting or defogging
is desired when you restart your vehicle,
you have to push the button to turn it on
again.
Your SUBARU dealer can set your rear
window defogger for continuous opera-
tion. Contact your SUBARU dealer for de- tails.
Once the rear window defogger has been
set for continuous operation, the rear win-
dow defogger repeatedly operates for 15
minutes, stops for two minutes, and again
operates for 15 minutes. If the battery volt-
age drops below the permissible level,
continuous operation is canceled and op-
eration stops as described in the follow-
ing. y
If the battery voltage drops below the
permissible level within 15 minutes of de-
pression of the button, continuous opera-
tion is canceled and the rear window de-
fogger stops operating 15 minutes later. y If the battery voltage drops below the
permissible level after the rear window de-
fogger has, following depression of the
button, operated for 15 minutes, stopped
operating for two minutes, and started op-
erating again, the rear window defogger
immediately stops operating.

ton, the compass display is toggled on or
off. When the compass is on, an illuminat-
ed compass reading will appear in the
lower part of the mirror.
Even with the mirror in anti-glare mode,
the mirror surface turns bright if the trans-
mission is shifted into reverse. This is to
ensure good rearward visibility during re-
versing. T
Photosensors
The mirror has a photosensor attached on
both the front and back sides. If the glare
from the headlights of vehicles behind you
strikes the mirror, these sensors detect it
and make the reflection surface of the mir-
ror dimmer to help prevent you from being
blinded. For this reason, use care not to cover the sensors with stickers, or other
similar items. Periodically wipe the sen-
sors clean using a piece of dry soft cotton
cloth or an applicator. T
Compass calibration
1. For optimum calibration, switch off all
nonessential electrical accessories (rear
window defogger, heater/air conditioning
system, spotlight, etc.) and ensure all
doors are shut.
2. Drive to an open, level area away from
large metallic objects or structures and
make certain the ignition switch is in the“ON” position.
3. Press and hold the left button for 3 sec-
onds then release, and the compass will
enter the calibration mode. “CAL” and di-
rection will be displayed.
4. Drive slowly in a circle until “CAL” dis-
appears from the display (approximately
two or three circles). The compass is now
calibrated.
5. Further calibration may be necessary
should outside influences cause the mirror
to read inaccurately. You will know that
this has occurred if your compass begins
to read in only limited directions. Should
you encounter this situation, return to step
one of the above procedure and recali-
brate the mirror. T
Compass zone adjustment
1. The zone setting is factory preset to
Zone 8. Refer to the “Compass calibration
zone” map attached to the end of this
manual to verify that the compass zone
setting is correct for your geographical lo- cation.
2. Press and hold the right button for 3
seconds then release, and the word
“ZONE” will briefly appear and then the
zone number will be displayed.
3. Press the right-hand button repeatedly to cycle the display through all possible
zone settings. Stop cycling when the cor-
rect zone setting for your location is dis-
played.
4. Releasing the button for 3 seconds will
exit the zone setting mode.

„Outside mirrors
T Convex mirror (Passenger side)
TRemote control mirror switch
The remote control mirrors operate only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“ACC” position.
1. Turn the knob to the “L” side to adjust
the left-hand mirror or to the “R” side to ad-
just the right-hand mirror.
2. Move the knob in the direction you
want to move the mirror.
3. Return the knob to the neutral position
to prevent unintentional operation.
The mirrors can also be adjusted manual- ly. T
Outside mirror defogger
The outside mirror defogger shares the
button with rear window defogger.
The outside mirror defogger operates only
when the ignition switch is in the “ON” po- sition. To turn on the outside mirror defogger,
push the button.
To turn it off, push the button again. The
indicator light located on the button lights
up while the outside mirror defogger is op-
erating.
The defogger will automatically shut off af-
ter approximately 15 minutes. If the mirror
clears before that time, push the button to
turn it off. It also turns off when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK”
position. If defrosting or defogging is de-
sired when you restart your vehicle, you
have to push the button to turn it on again.
NOTE y
While the outside mirror defogger is
operating, the rear window defogger
also operates.y When the rear window defogger has
been set for continuous operation, the
outside mirror defogger also operates
continuously. Refer to the “Rear win-
dow defogger button” section in this
chapter.
Objects look smaller in a convex
mirror and farther away than when
viewed in a flat mirror. Do not use
the convex mirror to judge the dis-
tance of vehicles behind you when
changing lanes. Use the inside mir-ror (or glance backwards) to deter-
mine the actual size and distance of
objects that you view in convex mir-
ror.

To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not operate the de-
fogger continuously for any longer
than necessary.
