Front Windshield Washer Operation
Pull the windshield wiper/washer lever toward the steering wheel to activate the wash-
ers. The wipers will activate automatically for three cycles after the lever is released.
Turn the windshield wipers off when driving through an automatic car wash. Dam-
age to the windshield wipers may result if the wiper control is left in any position
other than off.
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.
Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the windshield wiper blades
from returning to the off position. If the windshield wiper control is turned off
and the blades cannot return to the off position, damage to the wiper motor may
occur.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer
Activation
Rotate the windshield wiper lever center ring upwards to operate the rear window
wiper as follows:
In intermittent mode, when the front windshield wiper is not operating.
In synchronous mode (at half the speed of the front window wiper), when the front
windshield wiper is operating.
In continuous mode, with reverse engaged.
With the front windshield wipers on and reverse gear engaged, rear window wiping will
be continuous in the same way.
Pushing the windshield wiper lever forward activates the rear window washer. Keep the
windshield wiper lever pushed for more than half a second to activate the rear window
wiper as well. Releasing the windshield wiper lever will activate the smart washing func-
tion, as described for the windscreen wiper.
Deactivation
The function stops when the windshield wiper lever is released.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
