OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
DEFOGGER SWITCH
12X024
To turn the electric outside rear view mirror defogger on, push
the switch.
The ignition key must be in the ”ON” position.
The thin heater wires on the heater panels in the outside rear view
mirrors will quickly clear the surface. Keep your hands off the
mirror faces when the switch is on. An indicator light is on when the
defogger is operating.
The system will automatically shut off when the defogger has
operated about 15 minutes.
CAUTION
Since the mirror surfaces can get hot, keep your hands off
them when the switch is on.
If further defrosting or defogging is desired, simply actuate the
switch again. When the surface has cleared, push the switch once
again to turn the defogger off. Continuous use may cause the battery
to discharge, especially during stop−and−go driving. The defogger
is not designed to dry rain water or to melt snow.
If the outside rear view mirrors are heavily coated with ice, use a
spray de−icer before operating the switch.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not operate the
defogger continuously longer than necessary.
