The rear window demister switch can be op-
erated with the ignition switch in the “ON”
position.
Push the switch to turn on the rear window
demister. To turn off the demister, push the
switch again. As your vehicle is equipped
with the rear window demister timer, it will be
turned off automatically in about 20 minutes.
To turn off the demister within 20 minutes,
push the switch again.
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while
the demister is on. If your vehicle is equipped
with a mirror heater, when the demister
switch is pressed, the mist can also be re-
moved from the outside rear-view mirrors.
Refer to “Electric remote-controlled outside
rear-view mirrors” on page 5–32.

CAUTION
(1) The demister switch is not to melt
snow but to clear mist.
Remove snow before using the
demister switch.
(2) To avoid unnecessary discharge
of the battery, do not use the rear
window demister when the en-
gine is not running. Turn the de-
mister off immediately after the
window is clear.
(3) When cleaning the inside of the
rear window, use a soft cloth and
wipe gently along the heater
wires, being careful not to dam-
age the wires.
