3. HEAT WIRE INSPECTION

CAUTION:

Use a dry soft cloth to wipe off dirt on the glass along the heat wires with care not to damage the heat wires.

1. Prepare the following checking items.

Liquid crystal thermograph sheet (approximate Size: 300 - 300 mm (11.8 - 11.8 in) and thermal temperature: 35 — 40°C (95 — 104°F))

Aluminum foil

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

3. Turn the defogger switch to ON.

4. Push the liquid crystal thermograph sheet from the outside of the glass.

NOTE:

Use the liquid crystal thermograph sheet every range it is separated with the separate line.

(A)

NOTE:

Check from the inside of the glass - rear window if the liquid crystal thermograph sheet does not change.

The time for the color change may differ depends on the surface temperature of the glass.
