1Rear Defogger/Heated Door Mirror ButtonNOTICEWhen cleaning the inside of the rear window, be 
careful not to damage the heating wires.
It is critical to wipe the window from side to side 
along the defogger heating wires.
This system consumes a lot of power, so turn it off 
when the window has been defogged.
Also, do not use the system for a long period when 
the engine is idling. This may weaken the battery, 
making it difficult to start the engine.
