WARNING

■

To prevent the windshield from fogging up

●

Do not use

during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The

difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the wind-
shield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking
your vision.

■

To prevent burns

●

Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mir-
ror defoggers are on.

●

Do not touch the glass at lower part of the windshield or to the side of the
front pillars when the windshield wiper de-icer is on. (vehicles with wind-
shield wiper de-icer)

●

Do not touch the windshield (especially the lower part) as the surfaces can
become very hot when the windshield wiper de-icer is on. (vehicles with
Heated Windshield Defroster)

NOTICE

■

To prevent battery discharge

Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the
engine is off.

●

Do not place anything on the instrument
panel which may cover the air outlets.
Otherwise, air flow may be obstructed,
preventing the windshield defoggers
from defogging.
