Rotate the windshield wiper knob to one of the first
two detent positions for intermittent settings, the third
detent for low wiper operation and the fourth for high
wiper operation.
Smart washing function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) to operate the windshield washer.
Keep the lever pulled to activate both the windshield
washer jet and the windshield wiper with a single
movement; the latter turns on automatically if you keep
the lever pulled for more than half a second.
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
Use the Mist feature when weather conditions make
occasional usage of the wipers necessary. Push the
lever upward to the MIST position and release for a
single wiping cycle.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer pump;
therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on the
windshield. The washer function must be used in order
to spray the windshield with washer fluid.

INDSHIELD
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the
windshield wiper lever on the right side of the steering
column. The rear wiper/washer is operated by rotating
a switch, located on the left side of the lever.
NOTE:
If the front wipers are moving and the vehicle is shifted
in REVERSE, the rear wiper will perform one round up to
clean the rear window.
Rotate the center portion of the lever
upward to the first detent for intermittent
operation and to the second detent for
continuous rear wiper operation.
To use the washer, push the lever forward
and hold while spray is desired. If the
lever is pushed while in the intermittent
setting, the wiper will turn on and operate
for several wipe cycles after the end of the lever is
released, and then resume the intermittent interval
previously selected.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the
switch is held for more than 30 seconds. Once the lever
is released, the pump will resume normal operation.
If the lever is pushed while the wiper is in the off
position, the wiper will operate for several wipe cycles,
then turn off.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is placed
in the OFF position, the wiper will automatically return
to the parked position.
