Windshield Washer
To use the washer, pull the windshield wiper lever toward
the steering wheel and hold.
Both the windshield washer jet and the windshield wipers
will be activated. The wipers and washer will continue to
operate until you let go of the lever.
The windshield wipers stop working three strokes after the
stalk is released, followed by a final stroke six seconds
later to complete the cycle.
Mist
Push the lever upward to the MIST position and release for
a single wiping cycle.
NOTE:
The Mist feature does not activate the washer pump;
therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on the wind-
shield. The washer function must be used in order to spray
the windshield with washer fluid.
For information on wiper care and replacement, see
page 230.

WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could
lead to a collision. You might not see other vehicles or
other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the windshield
during freezing weather, warm the windshield with the
defroster before and during windshield washer use.
CAUTION!
Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the
windshield wiper blades from returning to the parked
position. If the windshield wiper switch is turned off,
and the blades cannot return to the parked position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.

This feature senses rain or snowfall on the windshield and
automatically activates the wipers. The Rain Sensor is
located behind the interior rearview mirror.
Rain Sensor
The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windshield is dry, to wiper at continuous speed
(fast operation) with intense rain.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Activation
1.
Rotate the wiper switch to the Low Sensitivity Rain
Sensing position or High Sensitivity Rain Sensing
position.
2.
Tap the wiper stalk upwards.
The variation in sensitivity during rain sensor operation is
signaled by a stroke of the wiper.
If the windshield washer is used with the rain sensor

activated, the normal washing cycle is performed, and
then the rain sensor resumes its normal automatic
operation.
NOTE:
Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
Deactivation
To turn off the Rain Sensing Wipers, use the wiper switch
or place the ignition in the OFF position.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor while it is
active, the windshield wiper operates intermittently at a
speed consistent with the sensitivity setting of the rain
sensor, whether or not there is rain on the glass for as long
as the sensor failure is indicated on the display.
The sensor continues to operate and it is possible to set
the windshield wiper to continuous mode (low or high). The
failure indication remains on for as long as the sensor is
active.
