off them when the switch is on.
If 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 stop±and±go 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 de±icer 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 continuouslylonger than necessary.

COMFORT ADJUSTMENT
137
Adjust the m
irror so that you can just see the side of
your vehicle in the mirror.
When the inside rear view mirror darkens in ºAUTOº
mode, the outside rear view mirrors also darken to
reduce the reflection of the headlights of the following
vehicle. For details, see ºInside rear view mirrorº on
page 141.
When you push the rear window and outside rear view
mirror defogger switch, the heater panels in the outside
rear view mirrors will quickly clear the mirror surface.
CAUTION
 Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is moving.
It may cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle and
an accident may occur, resulting in personal injuries.
Since the mirror surfaces can get hot, keep your
hands off them when the rear window and outside
rear view mirror defogger switch is on.
