Rear Window DefoggerThe rear window defogger clears fog,
frost, and thin ice from the window.
Push the defogger button to turn it on
and off. The indicator in the button
comes on to show the defogger is on. If
you do not turn it off, the defogger will
shut itself off within about 5 to 30
minutes according to the outside
temperature. It also shuts off when you
turn off the ignition switch. You have to
turn it on again when you restart the
vehicle.
In cold weather, the defogger will not
automatically shut itself off. You must
manually shut off the rear window
defogger when it is no longer
needed.
Make sure the rear window is clear
and you have good visibility before
starting to drive.
The defogger wires on the inside of
the rear window can be accidentally
damaged. When cleaning the glass,
always wipe side-to-side.
Pushing this button also turns the
mirror heaters on or off. For more
information, see page 147.Hazard Warning Button
Push the button between the center
vents to turn on the hazard warning
lights (four-way flashers). This
causes all outside turn signals and
both indicators in the instrument
panel to flash. Use the hazard
warning lights if you need to park in
a dangerous area near heavy traffic,
or if your vehicle is disabled.

Recalling a Memorized Driving
PositionWhen you unlock the driver's door
with your remote, each remote
activates the keyless memory
settings related to that remote. The
driver's ID (MEMORY 1 or
MEMORY 2) is shown on the back of
each remote.Here is the setting activated with the
remote;
●Driving position memory
(see page 148).
When you unlock and open the
driver's door with the remote
transmitter, the driver's seat (except
the power lumbar feature) and
outside mirrors start to move to the
positions stored in memory. The
indicator in the related memory
button to the remote comes on. To turn off this feature, press and
hold the LOCK and UNLOCK
buttons at the same time. Once the
remote LED blinks twice, release the
buttons. Keyless memory settings for
that remote are canceled.

back on, repeat this procedure. The
LED blinks once to indicate the
feature has been turned on.

this feature, press the button on the

mirror. Items hung on the mirror may

the rear view is shown on the left side
of the inside mirror. For more
information, see page 348.
