position. The windshield wiper deicer is

activated by pushing the same button

shield. To turn on the windshield wiper

deicer, push the button. The indicator light

located on the button lights up while the

windshield wiper deicer is operating.

The windshield wiper deicer will automa-

tically shut off a fter approximatel y 15

minutes. If the windshield wiper blades

have been deiced completely before that

time, push the button 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 button to

turn the deicer on again.

Your SUBARU dealer can set your wind-

shield wiper deicer for continuous opera-

tion. Contact your SUBARU dealer for

Once the windshield wiper deicer has

been set for continuous operation, press-

ing the button results in continuous opera-

tion. The windshield wiper deicer auto-

matically stops operating if any one of the

following conditions occurs during contin-

uous operation.

ously for any longer than necessary.
