Instruments and controls/Tilt/telescopic steering wheel

windshield wiper blades have been deiced
completely before that time, push the
control switch to turn them off. If defrosting, defogging or deicing is not complete,
you have to push the control switch to turn
them on again.
For models with the automatic climate
control system, it is possible to have the
defogger and deicer system for the continuous operation mode set by a SUBARU
dealer. Consult your SUBARU dealer for
details.
If the battery voltage drops below the
permissible level, continuous operation of
the defogger and deicer system is canceled and the system stops operating.

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/telescopic steering wheel
WARNING
. Do not adjust the steering wheel
tilt/telescopic position while driving. This may cause loss of
vehicle control and result in
personal injury.
. If the lever cannot be raised to
the fixed position, adjust the
steering wheel again. It is dangerous to drive without locking
the steering wheel. This may
cause loss of vehicle control
and result in personal injury.
