To turn on the outside rear view mirror
defogger and windshield wiper deicer,
push the switch.
The key must be in the “ON” position.
The heater panel in the outside rear view
mirrors will quickly clear the mirror sur-
face. An indicator light is on when the
defogger is operating.
Type B only—The windshield wiper deicer
is also equipped to deice the windshield
wiper blades by operating simultaneously
with the defogger.
Push the switch once again to turn off the
system.
The system will automatically shut off af-
ter the system has operated about 15
minutes.
CAUTION
Since the mirror surfaces can get hot,
keep your hands off them when the
switch is on.
Make sure you turn the system off when
the mirror surfaces have cleared or the
wiper blades have deiced. Leaving the
system on for a long time could cause the
battery to discharge, especially during
stopandgo driving. The defogger is not
designed for drying rain water or for melt-
ing snow.
If the outside rear view mirrors are heavi-
ly coated with ice, use a spray deicer
before operating the switch.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being dis-
charged, do not operate the system
continuously longer than necessary.
