Instruments and controls
To turn on the defogger, push the button. To turn it off,
push the button again.
The indicator light located on the button lights up while
the rear window defogger is operating.
Your SUBARU dealer can set your rear window defog-
ger for continuous operation. Contact your SUBARU
dealer for details.
Once the rear window defogger has been set for con-
tinuous operation, the rear window defogger repeated-
ly operates for 15 minutes, stops for two minutes, and
again operates for 15 minutes. If the battery voltage
drops below the permissible level, continuous opera-
tion is canceled and operation stops as described be-
low."
If the battery voltage drops below the permissible
level within 15 minutes of depression of the button,
continuous operation is canceled and the rear window
defogger stops operating 15 minutes later. " If the battery voltage drops below the permissible
level after the rear window defogger has, following de-
pression of the button, operated for 15 minutes,
stopped operating for two minutes, and started operat-
ing again, the rear window defogger immediately
stops operating.
" Do not use sharp instruments or window
cleaner containing abrasives to clean the inner
surface of the rear window. They may damage
the conductors printed on the window." To prevent the battery from being dis-
charged, do not operate the defogger continu-
ously for any longer than necessary.
NOTE
If your vehicle is equipped with the outside mirror
defogger, the outside mirror defogger operates
while the rear window defogger is operating.

Mirrors
Always check that the inside and outside mirrors are
properly adjusted before you start driving. !Inside mirror
The inside mirror has a day and night position. Pull the
tab at the bottom of the mirror toward you for the night
position. Push it away for the day position. The night
position reduces glare from headlights. !

The auto-dimming mirror/compass has an anti-glare
feature which automatically reduces glare coming
from headlights of vehicles behind you. It also con-

dicator light (green) located to the right of the button
will illuminate."
By pressing and releasing the right button, the com-
pass display is toggled on or off. When the compass is
on, an illuminated compass reading will appear in the
lower part of the mirror.
Even with the mirror in anti-glare mode, the mirror sur-
face turns bright if the transmission is shifted into re-
verse. This is to ensure good rearward visibility during reversing. ! Photosensors
The mirror has a photosensor attached on both the
front and back sides. If the glare from the headlights of vehicles behind you strikes the mirror, these sensors
detect it and make the reflection surface of the mirror
dimmer to help prevent you from being blinded. For
this reason, use care not to cover the sensors with
stickers, or other similar items. Periodically wipe the
sensors clean using a piece of dry soft cotton cloth or
an applicator. !
Compass calibration
1. For optimum calibration, switch off all nonessential
electrical accessories (rear window defogger, heater/
air conditioning system, spotlight, etc.) and ensure all
doors are shut.
2. Drive to an open, level area away from large metal-
lic objects or structures and make certain the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
3. Press and hold the left button for 3 seconds then re-
lease, and the compass will enter the calibration
mode. “CAL” and direction will be displayed.
4. Drive slowly in a circle until “CAL” disappears from
the display (about two or three circles). The compass
is now calibrated.
5. Further calibration may be necessary should out-
side influences cause the mirror to read inaccurately.
You will know that this has occurred if your compass
begins to read in only limited directions. Should you
encounter this situation, return to step one of the
above procedure and recalibrate the mirror.
