NOTICE
When cleaning the inside of the rear window, be
careful not to damage the heating wires and antenna
line.
It is critical to wipe the window from side to side
along the defogger heating wires and antenna line.
This system consumes a lot of power, so turn it off
when the window has been defogged or deiced.
Also, do not use the system for a long time while the
power system is stopped. This may weaken the 12-
volt battery, making it di fficult to turn the power
system on.
When the outside temperature is below 41°F (5°C),
the heated door mirror may activate automatically for
10 minutes when you set the power mode to ON.
When the outside temperat e is below 39°F (4°C) and
the windshield defroster is turned on, the heated
windshield may automatically activate.
The heated windshield deac tivates itself once the
windshield defroster is tu rned off or the outside
temperate reaches 43°F (6°C).
