The electric rear window defogger can be
used when the ready indicator is illuminated.
The indicator light (A) will come on when
you press the electric 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 sys-
tem will shut off automatically.
To switch the defogger OFF before 20 min-
utes 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
To ensure a clear rearward view, the wiper
performs several continuous operations
when the reverse gear is engaged and the
switch is in the “INT” position.
Following this continuous operation, the
wiper will automatically switch to intermit-
tent operation.
It is possible to modify functions as follows:
• Adjustment of the interval for intermittent
operation
• Changing intermittent wiper operation to
continuous wiper operation
For details, consult a certified i-MiEV
dealer.
The washer fluid reservoir is located under-
neath the hood.
Check the fluid level regularly and refill if
necessary. (Refer to “Washer fluid” on page
9-7.)
Precautions to observe when
using wipers and washers
CAUTION
If the washer is used in cold weather, the
washer fluid sprayed onto the glass might
freeze, blocking your view. In cold weather,
heat the glass with the defroster before using
the washer.
NOTE
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is
dry. This could scratch the glass and wear the
wiper blades prematurely.
Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check to be sure that the wiper blades are not
frozen to the windshield. Using the wipers
while the blades are frozen could cause the
wiper motor to burn out.
If the wipers are left on the glass out of the
parked position and they become blocked by
ice or other deposits on the glass, the motor
may still burn out even if the wiper switch is
OFF. If deposits form on the windshield,
park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the
electric motor switch, and clean the glass so
that the wipers can operate smoothly.
Avoid using the washer for more than 20 sec-
onds at a time. Do not operate the washer
when the fluid reservoir is empty or the
pump may fail.
During cold weather, add a recommended
washer solution that will not freeze in the
washer reservoir. Otherwise the washer may
not work or may be damaged.
Replace the wiper blades when they are
worn. Use the proper size replacement
blades. If you have questions, ask a certified
i-MiEV dealer.
