Driver Controls

Rear window wiper/washer controls

For intermittent operation of rear
wiper, rotate end of control upward
to the position.
For normal speed rear wiper
operation, rotate control upward to
ON.
To activate the rear washer, rotate
the control to the position and
release.

Windshield wiper blades

Check the wiper blades for wear at least twice a year or when they seem
less effective. Substances such as tree sap and some hot wax treatments
used by commercial car washes reduce the effectiveness of wiper blades.

Checking the wiper blades

If the wiper blades do not wipe properly, clean both the windshield and
wiper blades using undiluted windshield wiper solution or a mild
detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. To avoid damaging the
blades, do not use fuel, kerosene, paint thinner or other solvents.
