Instruments and controls
CAUTION
. To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not operate the
defogger and deicer system continuously for any longer than
necessary.
. Do not use sharp instruments or
window cleaner containing abrasives to clean the inner surface
of the rear window. They may
damage the conductors printed
on the window.
NOTE
. Turn on the defogger and deicer
system if the wipers are frozen to the
windshield.
. If the windshield is covered with
snow, remove the snow so that the
windshield wiper deicer works effectively.
. While the defogger and deicer system is in the continuous operation
mode, if the vehicle speed remains at
9 mph (15 km/h) or less for 15 minutes,
the windshield wiper deicer automatically stops operating, though the rear
window defogger and outside mirror
defogger maintain continuous operation in this condition.
Tilt steering wheel (if
equipped)

tilt position while driving. This

the steering wheel. This may
cause loss of vehicle control
and result in personal injury.
