ignition SUBARU TRIBECA 2010 1.G Repair Manual

!Outside mirror defogger
The outside mirror defogger shares the
control switch with the rear window de-
fogger. Therefore, the outside mirror de-
fogger always operates with the rear
window defogger.
If the rear window defogger is set to the
continuous operation mode, the outside
mirror defogger also follows the contin-
uous setting.
For details, refer to “Rear window defog-
ger button ”F 3-37.
CAUTION
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not operate the de-
fogger continuously for any longer than necessary.
! Power folding mirror switch (ifequipped)

folding mirror switch. To unfold the mirrors,

NOTE . When the temperature is low, the
outside mirrors may stop during opera-
tion. Push the switch again. When the
outside mirrors do not work by switch
operation, move them several times manually. This makes it possible to
operate them by switch operation..
When you operate the power folding
mirror switch continuously, it may
temporarily stop working. This is not
a malfunction. Operate it again after
waiting for a short period of time.. When you unfold the outside mirrors
manually, the mirrors may become
unstable. Be sure to unfold the mirrors

mirrors are still unstable, fold the
mirrors again manually and then unfold
