3-26 Instruments and controls The rear window defogger operates only when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position. The rear window defogger button is located on the climate control panel. To turn on the defogger, push the button. To turn it off, push the button again. The indicator light located on the button lights up while the rear window defogger is operating. The defogger will automatically shut off after approximately 15 minutes. If the window clears before that time, push the button to turn it off. It also turns off when the ignition switch is turned to the "ACC" or "LOCK" position. If defrosting or defogging is desired when you restart your vehicle, you have to push the button to turn it on again. Turn on the rear window defogger if the wiper is frozen to the glass. To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not operate the defogger continuously for any longer than necessary. Mirrors Always check that the inside and outside mirrors are properly adjusted before you start driving. Inside mirror 300145 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. The inside mirror has a day and night position. Pull the tab at the bottom of the mirror toward you for the night position. Push it away for the day position. The night position reduces glare from headlights.
