Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Move the lever toward the steering wheel to
start the windshield and headlight washers.
After the lever is released the wipers make
several extra sweeps.
Heated washer nozzles*
The washer nozzles are heated automatically
in cold weather to help prevent the washer
fluid from freezing.
High-pressure headlight washing*
High-pressure headlight washing consumes a
large quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid,
the headlights are washed using two alterna-
tives:
•
Low/high beam headlights on. The
headlights will be washed the first time
the windshield is washed. Thereafter, the
headlights will only be washed once for
every five times the windshield is washed
within a 10-minute period.
•
Parking lights on. Optional Active Bend-
ing Lights will be washed once for every
five times the windshield is washed. Nor-
mal halogen headlights will not be
washed.
CAUTION
•
Use ample washer fluid when washing
the windshield. The windshield should
be thoroughly wet when the wipers are
in operation.
•
When approx. 1 US quart (1 liter) of
washer fluid remains in the reservoir,
the headlights will no longer be
washed. A text message will also be
displayed to remind the driver to fill the
washer fluid reservoir.
Tailgate wiper/washer
Move the lever forward to start the tailgate
washer.
