The system will automatically shut off af-
ter the defogger has operated about 15
minutes.
CAUTION
Type C—Since the mirror surfaces
can get hot, do not touch them when
the defogger switch is on.
Make sure you turn the defoggers off
when the surfaces are clear. Leaving the
defoggers on for a long time could cause
the battery to discharge, especially during
stop
− and − go driving. The defoggers are
not designed for drying rain water or for
melting snow.
On some models, if the outside rear view
mirrors are heavily coated with ice, use a
spray de − icer before operating the switch.
NOTICE
When cleaning the inside of the rear
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the heater wires or connec-
tors.
