Rear Window Defogger Switch - Subaru 1998 Legacy Owner's Manual

Before turning on the wiper deicer, remove any snow from the wind-
shield. To turn on the wiper deicer, push the switch. The indicator light
located on the switch lights up while the wiper deicer is operating.
The wiper deicer will automatically shut off after about 15 minutes. If the
wiper blades have been deiced completely before this time, push the
switch to turn it off. It also turns off when the ignition switch is turned to
the "ACC" or "LOCK" position. If deicing is not complete when you
restart your vehicle, you have to push the switch to turn the deicer on
again.
