Rear window wiper and washer Rear window defogger NOTICE zTo prevent the battery from being discharged, turn the switch on when the engine is running. zWhen cleaning the inside of the rear window, be careful not to scratch or damage the heater wires. To turn the rear window wiper and washer on, twist the knob at the end of the lever. The key must be in the "ON" position. The wiper will operate at intervals when the knob is in the "INT" position. The washer squirts at the two marked knob positions. The knob will automatically return from these positions when it is released. If the washer does not work, check to see whether the washer tank is empty. For information on adding washer fluid, see "Adding washer fluid" in Chapter 7-3. NOTICE Do not operate the rear window wiper if the rear window is dry. It may scratch the glass. To defog or defrost the back window, push the switch. The key must be in the "ON" position. The thin heater wires on the inside of the back window will quickly clear the surface. An indicator light will illuminate to indicate the defogger is operating. Push the switch once again to turn the defoggers off. 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. 47
