ically stops operating if any one of the fol-
lowing conditions occurs during continu-
ous operation. y
The outside temperature becomes 41 °F
(5 °C) or higher.
y The vehicle speed remains at 9 mph (15
km/h) or lower for 15 minutes.y The battery voltage decreases below
the permissible level. Rear window defogger but-

minutes, stops for two minutes, and again
operates for 15 minutes. If the battery volt-
age drops below the permissible level,
continuous operation is canceled and op-
eration stops as described in the follow-
ing. y
If the battery voltage drops below the
permissible level within 15 minutes of de-
pression of the button, continuous opera-
tion is canceled and the rear window de-
fogger stops operating 15 minutes later. y If the battery voltage drops below the
permissible level after the rear window de-
fogger has, following depression of the
button, operated for 15 minutes, stopped
operating for two minutes, and started op-
erating again, the rear window defogger
immediately stops operating.

Objects look smaller in a convex
mirror and farther away than when
viewed in a flat mirror. Do not use
the convex mirror to judge the dis-
tance of vehicles behind you when
changing lanes. Use the inside mir-ror (or glance backwards) to deter-
mine the actual size and distance of
objects that you view in convex mir-
ror.

Driver’s side
Passenger’s side
It is possible to make separate tempera- ture settings for the driver’s side and pas-

shown on the display. With the dial set at
your desired temperature, the system au-
tomatically adjusts the temperature of air
supplied from the outlets such that the de-
sired temperature is achieved and main-
tained.
Turning the dial counterclockwise and re-
leasing it reduces the temperature by 1
°F
(0.5 °C). Turning the dial clockwise and re-
leasing it increases the temperature by1 °F (0.5 °C). Holding the dial in either
turned position causes the temperature to
change continuously.
With the minimum temperature set, the
system gives maximum cooling perfor-
mance. With the maximum temperature
set, the system gives maximum heating
performance.
