(CANADA ONLY)
12L0072
To spray fluid on the headlights, push the switch with the
headlights on.
The ignition key must be in the ”ON” position.
The warning message ”LOW WASHER FLUID” is displayed in the
multi information display when the fluid level in the tank becomes
nearly empty. For information on adding washer fluid, see ”Adding
washer fluid” on page 261.
NOTICE
Do not turn the headlight cleaner on with the tank empty. It may
cause the cleaner motor to overheat.
REAR WINDOW AND OUTSIDE
REAR VIEW MIRROR DEFOGGER
SWITCH
12L008-4
To turn the electric rear window defogger on, push the switch.
The ignition key must be in the ”ON” position.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the rear window and the heater
panels in the outside rear view mirrors will quickly clear the surface.
Keep your hands off the mirror faces when the switch is on. An
indicator light is on when the defogger is operating.
The system will automatically shut off when the defogger has
operated about 15 minutes.

SWITCHES
28If further defrosting or defogging is desired, simply actuate the
switch again. When the surface has cleared, push the switch once
again to turn the defogger off. Continuous use may cause the battery
to discharge, especially during stopandgo driving. The defogger
is not designed to dry rain water or to melt snow.
If the outside rear view mirrors are heavily coated with ice, use a
spray deicer before operating the switch.
NOTICE
When cleaning the inside of the rear window, be careful not
to scratch or damage the heater wires.
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not operate
the defogger continuously longer than necessary.

position.
Key off operation: Even if the ignition key is turned to the ”ACC”
or ”LOCK” position, the window can be operated until any of the
doors is opened (or for about 45 seconds).
