Windshield Washers - Dodge Dakota 2008 Owner's Manual

128 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield
could lead to an accident. You might not see other
vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of
the windshield during freezing weather, warm the
windshield with defroster before and during wind-
shield washer use.
NOTE: If the front wiper is operating when the ignition
is turned OFF, the wiper will automatically return to the
PARK position. When the vehicle is restarted, the wipers
will resume operation.

Windshield Washers

To use the washer, push in on the washer knob at the end
of the multifunction control lever, and hold while spray is
desired. If the washer knob is depressed while in the
delay range, the wiper will operate for several seconds
after the washer knob is released. It will then resume the
intermittent interval previously selected. If the washer
knob is pushed for a period greater than one second,
while in the OFF position, the wiper will wipe approxi-
mately three wipes, after the wash knob is released.
To prevent freeze-up of your windshield washer system
in cold weather, select a solution or mixture that meets or
exceeds the temperature range of your climate. This
rating information can be found on most washer fluid
containers.
