REAR WINDOW FEATURES
Rear Window Wiper/Washer — If
Equipped
The Rear Window Wiper/Washer control is
located on the right side of the steering
column.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer Control
The rotary ring switch on the lever controls rear
wiper and washer operation. Rotate the switch
upward to the first detent to activate the rear
wiper. Rotate the switch upward to the second
detent to activate the rear washer. The washer will
continue to operate until you release the switch.
Once released, the wiper will cycle three times,
return to the park position, and then resume
normal operation.
NOTE:
The rear wiper will automatically return to the
park position if you turn OFF the ignition
switch while it is operating. The rear wiper will
resume operation when you turn the ignition
switch to the ON position again.
CAUTION!
• Turn the rear wiper off when driving through
an automatic car wash. Damage to the rear
wiper may result if the rear wiper control is left
in the ON position.
• In cold weather, always turn off the rear wiper
switch and allow the rear wiper to return to the
park position before turning off the engine. If
the rear wiper switch is left on and the rear
wiper freezes to the window, damage to the
rear wiper motor may occur when the vehicle
is restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the rear wiper blade from returning
to the park position. If the rear wiper control is
turned off and the blade cannot return to the
park position, damage to the rear wiper motor
may occur.
Adding Washer Fluid
The windshield washer and rear window washer
share the same fluid reservoir. The reservoir is
located in the front of the engine compartment. Be
sure to check the fluid level at regular intervals. Fill
the reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not
radiator antifreeze) and operate the system for a
few seconds to flush out the residual water.
Rear Window Defroster — If Equipped
The electric Rear Window Defroster Con-
trol is located on the climate control
switch bank. Press this button to turn on
the rear window defroster and the heated
side mirrors (if equipped). An LED in the button
will illuminate when the rear window defroster is
on. The defroster turns off automatically after
approximately 10 minutes of operation for the first
push of the button, and will turn off after approxi-
mately five minutes for the second push of the
button.
