Tilt/telescopic steering wheel

NOTE
. Turn on the defogger and deicer
system if the wipers are frozen to
the windshield.
. If the windshield is covered with
snow, remove the snow so that the
windshield wiper deicer works effec-
tively.
. While the defogger and deicer sys-
tem is in the continuous operation
mode:
– If the vehicle speed remains at 9
mph (15 km/h) or lower for 15
minutes, the windshield wiper
deicer system automatically
stops operating. However, the
rear window defogger system
and outside mirror defogger sys-
tem maintain continuous opera-
tion in this condition.
– If the vehicle battery voltage
drops below the permissible le-
vel, continuous operation of the
defogger system and deicer sys-
tem is canceled and the system
stops operating.
