To activate the defogger and deicer
system, press the control switch that is
located on the climate control panel. The
rear window defogger, outside mirror
defogger and windshield wiper deicer are

To turn them off, press the control switch
again. They also turn off when the ignition

turn them on again.
For models with the automatic climate
control system, it is possible for the
defogger and deicer system to be set to
continuous operation mode by a SUBARU

models with a multi function display, it is
possible to set the defogger and deicer
system for the continuous operation
mode. For details, refer to Defogger
setting F3-90.
