To turn on the outside rear view mirror
defogger and windshield wiper de icer,
push the switch.
The key must be in the “ON” position.
The heater panel in the outside rear view
mirrors will quickly clear the mirror sur-
face. An indicator light is on when the
defogger is operating.
Type B only—The windshield wiper de icer
is also equipped to de ice the windshield
wiper blades by operating simultaneously
with the defogger.
Push the switch once again to turn off the
system.
CAUTION
Since the mirror surfaces can get hot,
do not touch them when the switch
is on.
Make sure you turn the system off when
the mirror surfaces have cleared or the
wiper blades have de iced. Leaving the
system on for a long time could cause the
battery to discharge, especially during
stop and go driving. The defogger is not
designed for drying rain water or for melt-
ing snow. If the outside rear view mirrors are heavi-
ly coated with ice, use a spray de icer
before operating the switch.
