Rear window defogger but-
ton
The rear window defogger operates only
when the ignition switch is in the
“
ON
”
position.
To turn on the defogger, push the control
switch that is located on the climate
control panel. The indicator light located
on the control switch illuminates while the
rear window defogger is operating.
To turn it off, push the control switch again.
It also turns off when the ignition switch is
turned to the
“
Acc
”
or
“
LOCK
”
position.
The defogger will automatically shut off
after approximately 15 minutes. If the rear
window has been cleared completely
before that time, push the control switch
to turn it off. If defrosting or defogging is
not complete, you have to push the control
switch to turn it on again.
Your SUBARU dealer can set your rear
window defogger to the continuous opera-
tion mode. Contact your SUBARU dealer
for details.
Once the rear window defogger has been
set to the continuous operation mode, it
should be in the continuous operation
mode at any time when the control switch
is pushed to the
“
ON
”
position.
If the battery voltage drops below the
permissible level, continuous operation of
the rear window defogger is canceled and
the system stops operating.
CAUTION
.
Do not use sharp instruments or
window cleaner containing abra-
sives to clean the inner surface
of the rear window. They may
damage the conductors printed
on the window.
.
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not operate the
defogger continuously for any
longer than necessary.
