Windshield Wiper/Washer Lever

Windshield Wiper Operation

Rotate the end of the lever upward to the first
detent past the intermittent settings for
low-speed wiper operation. Rotate the end of
the lever upward to the second detent past
the intermittent settings for high-speed
wiper operation.
CAUTION!
In cold weather, always turn off the wiper
switch and allow the wipers to return to
the park position before turning off the
engine. If the wiper switch is left on and
the wipers freeze to the windshield,
damage to the wiper motor may occur
when the vehicle is restarted.
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather
conditions make a single wiping cycle, with
a variable pause between cycles, desirable.
Rotate the end of the lever to the first detent
position for one of four intermittent settings.
The delay cycle can be set anywhere between
1 to 18 seconds.
NOTE:
The wiper delay times depend on vehicle
speed. If the vehicle is moving less than
10 mph (16 km/h), delay times will be
doubled.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you
and hold while spray is desired. If the lever
is pulled while in the delay range, the wiper
will start and continue to operate for two or
three wipe cycles after the lever is released.
Then, the intermittent interval previously
selected will resume.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position,
the wipers will operate for two or three wipe
cycles. Then, the wipers will turn off.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You
might not see other vehicles or other
obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm
the windshield with the defroster before
and during windshield washer use.
Mist Feature
Push upward on the wiper lever to activate a
single wipe to clear off road mist or spray from
a passing vehicle. As long as the lever is held
up, the wipers will continue to operate.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the
washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will
be sprayed on the windshield. The wash
function must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.

CLIMATE CONTROLS

The Climate Control System allows you to
regulate the temperature, air flow, and direc-
tion of air circulating throughout the vehicle.
The controls are located on the touchscreen
(if equipped) and on the instrument panel
below the radio.
