Washing the headlamps and
windows
Washing function
Washing the windscreen
Move the stalk switch toward the steering
wheel to start the windscreen and headlamp
washers.
The windscreen wipers will make several
more sweeps once the stalk switch has been
released. The headlamps are washed alter-
nately to prevent light intensity being
reduced.
NOTE
One headlamp is washed at a time.

Heated washer nozzles*

The washer nozzles are heated automatically
in cold weather to prevent the washer fluid
freezing solid.

High-pressure headlamp washing*

High-pressure headlamp washing consumes
a large quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid,
the headlamps are washed automatically at
every fifth wash cycle.
