3-36 Instruments and controls
The windshield wiper deicer operates only
when the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position.
Before turning on the windshield wiper
deicer, remove any snow from the wind-
shield. To turn on the windshield wiper
deicer, push the button. The indicator light
located on the button lights up while the
windshield wiper deicer is operating.
The windshield wiper deicer will automa-
tically shut off after approximately 15
minutes. 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 when you restart your
vehicle, 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
details.
Once the windshield wiper de icer has
been set for continuous operation, press-
ing the button results in continuous opera-
tion. The windshield wiper deicer auto-
matically stops operating if any one of the
following conditions occurs during contin-
uous operation.
. The outside temper ature bec omes
418F(58C) or higher.
. The vehicle speed remains at 9 mph
(15 km/h) or lower for 15 minutes.
. The battery voltage decreases below

ously for any longer than necessary.
