I bought legacy a coulpe of months ago and have been unable to work out what a couple of buttons do. car is jap import so all manuals in japanese. Have mucked around with buttons, but they do not seem to do anything. have tried to d/l english manual- no success. Pls, can someone tell me what these buttons do:

-switch near gearstick and handbrake all on its lonesome. looks like it should heat/ de-fog the FRONT windscreen??? Does not seem to though.

-turnable dial on left stick for windscreen wipers- has options int- low-high. Thought it might change speed of rear wipers. Again, does not to be so.

Help!?! Thanks

Jon

ps does anyone know where I can get hold of english owners manual (as a pdf perhaps).

Pretty sure that is a heater to de-ice the windscreen wipers.

Sounds like front wipers 2 speeds and intermittent.

..got a 2k RSK Japanese import. Ours has a snowflake on a button forward of the gear shift (auto) that I understand is for snow/slippery conditions. Never tried it, but read somewhere that it locks out first gear to avoid wheel spin when starting off.

For the left-hand side wiper control, working inwards from the left outside of the stork:

- the end button triggers the front sprays

- the end third (ish) section of the stork controls the wiper on/wiper off/spray for the rear wiper

- the sleeve for the interrupt mode controls the speed for the front wipers only (not the rear)

If you've got climate control a/c, the top left button with a rectangle & lines icon will turn on the ac and switch to the windscreen vents. If you turn off the a/c it'll auto boost the fan speed. The next button along will turn on the rear window de-mist (you should hear a relay click. Both also light an icon on the climate display in the center console.
