REAR WINDOW FEATURES
Rear Window Wiper/Washer
A switch on the right side of the steering column
controls operation of the rear wiper/washer func-
tion. Rotating the center of the switch up to the
DEL (Delay) position or the ON position will acti-
vate the wiper. Push the lever forward to initiate
the wash function in any of the three positions. The
wash pump will continue to operate as long as the
button is pressed. Upon release, the wipers will
cycle three times before returning to the set
position.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is
turned OFF, the wiper will automatically return to
the "Park" position.

If the liftgate flipper glass is open, connection to
the rear window wiper is interrupted preventing
activation of the rear wiper blade. When the
liftgate flipper glass is closed, the rear wiper
switch or the ignition switch needs to be turned
OFF and ON to restart the rear wiper.
Rear Window Defroster
In the lower left of the climate control
panel is a push button for rear window
defrosting. An amber indicator in the
push button will light when the defroster
is turned on. Push again to turn off the defroster
prior to an automatic time-out.
The defroster will automatically turn off after about
ten minutes. For about five more minutes of op-
eration, push the button again. To prevent exces-
sive battery drain, use the defroster only when the
engine is operating. The push button also acti-
vates the heated exterior mirrors, if so equipped.
CAUTION!
Use care when washing the inside of the rear
window to prevent damage to heating elements.
Use a soft cloth and a mild washing solution,
wiping parallel to the heating elements. Also,
keep all objects a safe distance from the window
to prevent damaging the heating elements.
