(g) Rear window and outside rear view
mirror defogging
To turn the electric rear window and
outside rear view mirror defogger on,
push the button above.
The “POWER” switch must be in ON
mode.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the
rear window and the heater panels in the
outside rear view mirrors will quickly clear
the surface.
Keep your hands off the mirror faces when
the system is on.
The indicator light is on when the defogger
is operating.
CAUTION
When the outside rear view mirror de-
foggers are on, do not touch the out-
side surface of the rear view mirror as
it can become very hot and burn you.
The defoggers will automatically turn off
after 15 to 60 minutes. The operation time
changes according to the ambient temper-
ature and vehicle speed.
If further defrosting or defogging is de-
sired, simply actuate the switch again.
When the surface has cleared, push the
button once again to turn the defogger off.
Continuous use may cause the 12 − volt
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 system.
NOTICE
When cleaning the inside of the
rear window, be careful not to
scratch or damage the heater wires
or connectors.
To prevent the12−volt battery from
being discharged, turn the switch
off when the hybrid system is off.
