the control switch to turn it on again.
Your SUBARU dealer can set your wind-shield wiper deicer to the continuousoperation mode. Contact your SUBARUdealer for details.
Once the windshield wiper deicer hasbeen set to the continuous operationmode, it should be in the continuousoperation mode at any time when thecontrol switch is pushed to the“ON”position.
If the battery voltage drops below thepermissible level, continuous operation ofthe windshield wiper deicer is canceledand the system stops operating.
CAUTION
To prevent the battery from beingdischarged, do not operate thewindshield wiper deicer continu-ously for any longer than necessary.
NOTE
.Turn on the windshield wiper deicerif the wipers are frozen to the wind-shield..If the windshield is covered withsnow, remove the snow so that thewindshield wiper deicer works effec-

tively..While the windshield wiper deicer isin the continuous operation mode, ifthe vehicle speed remains at 9 mph (15km/h) or less for 15 minutes, the wind-shield wiper deicer automatically stopsoperating.

The mirror has a photosensor attached onboththe front and back sides. Use carenot to cover the sensors with stickers, orother similar items. Periodically wipe thesensors clean using a piece of dry softcotton cloth or an applicator.
NOTE
When cleaning the mirror, use a papertowel or similar item dampened withglass cleaner. Do not spray glasscleaner directly on the mirror surface.By doing so, the sprayed glass cleanercould enter the inside of the mirrorhousing. That may cause a malfunctionin the mirror.
!Electronic compass display
By pressing the multifunction button for 3to 6 seconds, the compass display istoggled on or off. When the compassdisplay is on, an illuminated compassreading will appear on the mirror.
Using the electronic compass properly,the following compass zone adjustmentand compass calibration will be neces-sary.
!Compasszone adjustment
1. The compass zone has been set tozone“8”at the time of shipment from thefactory. Refer to the“Compass calibrationzones”map, which is attached to the endof this manual to verify that the compasszone setting is correct for your geographi-cal location.
2. Press and hold the multifunction but-ton for 6 to 9 seconds, and then release it.The zone number will be displayed.
3. Press the multifunction button repeat-edly to cycle the display through allpossible zone settings. Stop cycling whenthe correct zone number for your locationis displayed.
4. Releasing the button for 3 seconds willexitthe zone setting mode.
!Compass calibration
1. For optimum calibration, switch off allnonessential electrical accessories (rearwindow defogger, heater/air conditioningsystem, spotlight, etc.) and ensure alldoors are shut.
2. Drive to an open, level area away fromlarge metallic objects or structures andmake certain the ignition switch is in the“ON”position.
3. Press and hold the multifunction but-ton for 9 to 12 seconds, and then releaseit. The compass will enter the calibrationmode,then“C”and the direction will bedisplayed.
4. Drive slowly in a circle until“C”disappears from the display. Driving intwo or three circles might be necessary.The compass is now calibrated.
5. Further calibration may be necessaryshould outside influences cause the com-pass to read inaccurately. You will noticeany outside influence if the compass tendsto read in only one particular direction.Shouldyou encounter this situation, returnto step 1 of the above procedure andrecalibrate the compass.

equipped)
1) Left button2) Auto dimming indicator3) Photosensor4) Right button
This mirror has an anti-glare feature whichautomatically reduces glare coming fromheadlights of vehicles behind you. It alsocontains a built-in compass.
.By pressing and releasing the leftbutton, the automatic dimming function istoggled on or off. When the automaticdimming function is on, the auto dimmingindicator light (green) located to the rightof the button will illuminate.
.By pressing and releasing the rightbutton, the compass display is toggled on
or off. When the compass is on, anilluminated compass reading will appearin the lower part of the mirror.
Even with the mirror in anti-glare mode,the mirror surface turns bright if thetransmission is shifted into reverse. Thisis to ensure good rearward visibility duringreversing.
!Photosensors
The mirror has a photosensor attached onboth the front and back sides. If the glarefrom the headlights of vehicles behind youstrikes the mirror, these sensors detect itand make the reflection surface of themirror dimmer to help prevent you frombeing blinded. For this reason, use carenot to cover the sensors with stickers, orother similar items. Periodically wipe the
sensors clean using a piece of dry softcotton cloth or an applicator.
!Compass calibration
1. For optimum calibration, switch off allnonessential electrical accessories (rearwindow defogger, heater/air conditioningsystem, spotlight, etc.) and ensure alldoors are shut.
2. Drive to an open, level area away fromlarge metallic objects or structures andmake certain the ignition switch is in the“ON”position.
3. Press and hold the left button for 3seconds then release, and the compasswill enter the calibration mode.“CAL”anddirection will be displayed.
4. Drive slowly in a circle until“CAL”disappears from the display (approxi-mately two or three circles). The compassis now calibrated.
5. Further calibration may be necessaryshould outside influences cause the mirrorto read inaccurately. You will know thatthis has occurred if your compass beginsto read in only limited directions. Shouldyou encounter this situation, return to stepone of the above procedure and recali-brate the mirror.

&Outside mirrors
!Convex mirror (passenger side)
WARNING
Objects look smaller in a convexmirror and farther away than whenviewed in a flat mirror. Do not usethe convex mirror to judge thedistance of vehicles behind youwhen changing lanes.

3. Return the knob to the neutral positionto prevent unintentional operation.
The mirrors can also be adjusted manu-ally.

!Outside mirror defogger
The outside mirror defogger shares thecontrol switch with the rear window de-fogger. Therefore, the outside mirror de-fogger always operates with the rearwindow defogger.
If the rear window defogger is set to thecontinuous operation mode, the outsidemirror defogger also follows the contin-uous setting.
For details, refer to“Rear window defog-ger button”F3-37.
CAUTION
To prevent the battery from beingdischarged, do not operate the de-fogger continuously for any longer
