outside mirrors have been cleared and the
windshield blade rubbers have been
deiced completely before that time, press
the control switch to turn them off.
For climate control system (type B and
C),it is possible for the defogger and
deicer system to be set to continuous
operation mode by a SUBARU dealer.
Consult your SUBARU dealer for details.
Also, for models with a combination meter
display (color LCD), it is possible to set the
defogger and deicer system for the con-
tinuous operation mode. For details, refer
to“Vehicle Setting”F3-41.
CAUTION
.To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not operate the
defogger and deicer system con-
tinuously for any longer than
necessary.
.Do not use sharp instruments or
window cleaner containing abra-
sives to clean the inner surface of
the rear window. They may da-
mage the conductors printed on
the window.
NOTE.Turn on the defogger and deicer
system if the wipers are frozen to the
windshield.
.If the windshield is covered with
snow, remove the snow so that the
windshield wiper deicer works effec-
tively.
.While the defogger and deicer sys-
tem is in the continuous operation
mode:
–If the vehicle speed remains at 9
mph (15 km/h) or lower for 15
minutes, the windshield wiper dei-
cer system automatically stops op-
erating. However, the rear window
defogger system and outside mirror
defogger system maintain continu-
ous operation in this condition.
–If the vehicle battery voltage
drops below the permissible level,
continuous operation of the defog-
ger system and deicer system is
canceled and the system stops
operating.
Tilt/telescopic steering wheel
WARNING
.Do not adjust the steering wheel
tilt/telescopic position while driv-
ing. This may cause loss of
vehicle control and result in per-
sonal injury.
.If the lever cannot be raised to the
fixed position, adjust the steering
wheel again. It is dangerous to
drive without locking the steering
wheel. This may cause loss of
vehicle control and result in per-
sonal injury.
