Rear Window And Outside Rear View Mirror Defogger Switch - Lexus RX300 Manual

REAR WINDOW AND OUTSIDE
REAR VIEW MIRROR DEFOGGER
SWITCH
12R010b
To turn the electric rear window and outside rear view mirror
defogger on, push the switch.
The ignition key must be in the "ON" position.
The thin heater wires on the inside of the rear window and the heater
panels in the outside rear view mirrors will quickly clear the surface.
An indicator light is on when the defogger is operating.
The system will automatically shut off when the defogger has
operated about 15 minutes.
CAUTION
Since the mirror surfaces can get hot, keep your hands off
them when the switch is on.
If further defrosting or defogging is desired, simply actuate the
switch again. When the surface has cleared, push the switch once
again to turn the defogger off. Continuous use may cause the battery
to discharge, especially during stop–and–go driving. The rear
window defogger is not designed to dry rain water or to melt snow.
If the outside rear view mirrors are heavily coated with ice, use a
spray de–icer before operating the switch.
NOTICE
D When cleaning the inside of the rear window, be careful not
to scratch or damage the heater wires.
D To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not operate
the defogger continuously longer than necessary.
