4-8 Instruments and Controls
Washer
To spray washer fluid on the rear
window, press the button at the end of
the lever until the washers begin. When
the button is released, the washers stop,
but the wipers continue to wipe for
about three wipes.
Warning
In freezing weather, do not use the
washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid
can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
Caution
Less than clear vision for the driver
can lead to an accident resulting in
personal injury and damage to your
vehicle or other property.
Do not operate the tailgate window
wiper when the tailgate window is
dry or obstructed, as with snow or
ice.
Using the wiper on an obstructed
window can damage the wiper blade,
wiper motor and glass.
Check blade is not frozen to window
before operating in cold weather.
Wiper operation while blade is
frozen can damage wiper motor.
Do not spray washer fluid on the
tailgate window in freezing weather.
Warm the tailgate window before
you operate the tailgate window
washer.
Rear Smart Wiper
For vehicles with this feature, the rear
wiper turns on automatically when the
shift lever is set to R (Reverse) while
the front wiper is on.
The windshield washer reservoir is
used for the windshield and rear
window. Check the fluid level if either
washer is not working. See Washer
Fluid on page 9-22.
