You control the windshield wipers by turning the band
with the wiper symbol on it.
For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold
it there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will
stop after one wipe. If you want more wipes, hold the
band
on MIST longer.
You can set the wiper speed for
a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain
or
snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The
closer to LO, the shorter the delay,
I
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away
from you to the
LO position. For high-speed wiping,
turn the band further, to HI.
To stop the wipers, move
the band to the
OFF position.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If they’re frozen to the windshield,
carefully
loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become
worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Windshield Washer
There is a paddle marked with the windshield washer
symbol at the top of the multifunction lever.
To spray
washer fluid on the windshield, push the paddle. The
wipers will clear the window and then either stop or
return to your preset speed.
In freezing weather, don’t use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking
your vision.

to turn on all the lamps listed as well as the headlamps.
Rotate the knob all the
way to the left to turn off your
lamps and put the system in auto headlamp mode.
Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, your automatic
headlamp system will turn on your headlamps at the
normal brightness along with other lamps such as the
taillamps, sidemarker, parking lamps and the instrument
panel lights. The radio lights will also be dim.
Your vehicle is equipped with a light sensor on the top
of the instrument panel under the radio speaker grill so
be sure it is not covered, which will cause the system to
be on whenever the ignition is on.
The system may also turn on your headlamps when
driving through a parking garage, heavy overcast
weather, a tunnel or fueling your vehicle in a low-light
area. This is normal. There is
a delay in the transition between the daytime and
nighttime operation of the Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL) and the automatic headlamp systems so that driving
under bridges or bright overhead street lights does not
affect the system. The
DRL and automatic headlamp
system will
only be affected when the light sensor sees a
change in lighting lasting longer than the delay.
To idle your vehicle with the automatic headlamp
system off, set the parking brake while the ignition is
off. Then
start your vehicle. The automatic headlamp
system will stay off until you release the parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Lamps On Reminder
A reminder chime will sound when your headlamps or
parking lamps are manually turned on and your ignition
is in
OFF, LOCK or ACCESSORY. To turn the chime
off, turn the knob all the way to the left or turn the
instrument panel dimmer down to the fully dimmed
position. In the automatic mode, the headlamps turn off
once the ignition key is in
OFF.
