To activate the defogger and deicer
system, press the control switch. The rear
window defogger, outside mirror defogger
and windshield wiper deicer are activated
simultaneously. The indicator light on the
control switch illuminates while the defog-
ger and deicer system is activated.
To turn them off, press the control switch
again. They also turn off when the ignition
switch is turned to the ACC or LOCK/

The defogger and deicer system will
automatically shut off after approximately
15 minutes. If the rear window and outside
mirrors have been cleared and the wind-
shield wiper blade rubbers have been
deiced completely before that time, press
the control switch to turn them off. If
defrosting, defogging or deicing is not
complete, you have to press the control
switch to turn them on again.
It is possible to set the defogger and
deicer system for the continuous opera-
tion mode by operating the multi informa-
tion display. For details, refer to Defog-
ger F3-45.

tinuously for any longer than
necessary.

window cleaner containing abra-
sives to clean the inner surface
of the rear window. They may
damage the conductors printed
on the window.

system if the wipers are frozen to the
windshield.
. If the windshield is covered with

defogger system maintain continu-
ous operation in this condition.
If the vehicle battery voltage

continuous operation of the defog-
ger system and deicer system is
canceled and t he system stops
