meter will illuminate when the rear fog light
is illuminated.
NOTE
To prevent switching off the rear fog
light from being forgotten, the rear fog
light circuit is designed so that it turns
off whenever one of the following
operations is performed.
.
The headlight switch is set to either
the
“ ”
or
“ ”
position.
.
The headlight switch is set to the
“
AUTO
”
position and the headlights
turn off (models with auto on/off head-
lights).
.
The key is removed from the ignition
switch (models without the

tem
”
).
.
The push-button ignition switch is
turned off (models with the
“
keyless
access with push-button start sys-
tem

).
However, this does not mean that the
rear fog light illuminates when the
headlight switch is set to
“ ”
position
or the ignition switch is turned to
“

”
position again. So, if you want to
reilluminate the rear fog light, turn the
fog light switch to the

Wiper and washer
WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use the
windshield washer until the wind-
shield is sufficiently warmed by the
defroster.
Otherwise the washer fluid can
freeze on the windshield, blocking
your view.
CAUTION
.
Do not operate the washer con-
tinuously for more than 10 sec-
onds, or when the washer fluid
tank is empty. This may cause
overheating of the washer motor.
Check the washer fluid level
frequently, such as at fuel stops.
.
Do not operate the wipers when
the windshield or rear window is
dry. This may scratch the glass,
damage the wiper blades and
might cause the wiper motor to
fail. Before operating the wiper
on a dry windshield or rear
window, always use the wind-
shield washer.
.
In freezing weather, be sure that
the wiper blades are not frozen to
the windshield or rear window
before switching on the wipers.
Attempting to operate the wiper
with the blades frozen to the
window glass could cause not
only the wiper blades to be
damaged but also might cause
the wiper motor to fail. If the
wiper blades are frozen to the
window glass, be sure to operate
the defroster, windshield wiper
deicer (if equipped) or rear win-
dow defogger before turning on
the wiper.
.
If the wipers stop during opera-
tion because of ice or some other
obstruction on the window, this
might cause the wiper motor to
fail even if the wiper switch is
t ur ne d o f f . I f t h i s o c c ur s ,
promptly stop the vehicle in a
safe place, turn the ignition
switch to the
“
LOCK
”
/
“
OFF
”
po-
sition and clean the window
glass to allow proper wiper op-
eration.
.
Use clean water if windshield
washer fluid is unavailable. In
areas where water freezes in
winter, use SUBARU Windshield
