Rear Window Defroster - Jeep Grand Cherokee 2013 Owner's Manual

Rotating the center portion upward once more
will activate the washer pump which will con-
tinue to operate as long as the switch is held.
Upon release of the switch, the wipers will resume the
continuous rear wiper operation. When this rotary con-
trol is in the OFF position, rotating it downward will
activate the rear washer pump which will continue to
operate as long as the switch is held. Once the switch is
released it will return to the OFF position and the wipers
will cycle several times before returning to the parked
position.
NOTE: As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the
switch is held for more than 20 seconds. Once the switch is
released the pump will resume normal operation.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is turned
OFF, the wiper will automatically return to the "park"
position.
