off until the engine warms up. However, the fan will
engage immediately if the defrost mode is selected or if
you select a fixed blower speed.
Window Fogging
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild rainy
or humid weather. To clear the windows, use the A/C,
panel, and blower controls. Direct the panel outlets
toward the side windows. Recirculate without A/C
should not be used for long periods as fogging may
occur. Interior fogging on the windshield can be quickly
removed by using the defrost mode.
REAR WINDOW FEATURES

A switch on the right side of the steering column controls
operation of the rear wiper/washer function. Rotating
the center of the switch up to the DEL (Delay) position or
the ON position will activate the wiper. Push the lever
forward to initiate the wash function in any of the threepositions. 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 ªParkº
position.

attention should also be given to hood latching compo-
nents to insure proper function. When performing other
underhood services, the hood latch, release mechanism
and safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a
year, preferably in the fall and spring. Apply a small
amount of a high quality lubricant such as MopartLock
Cylinder Lubricant directly into the lock cylinder.
Windshield Wiper Blades
The rubber edges of the wiper blades and the windshield
should be cleaned periodically with a sponge or soft cloth
and a mild nonabrasive cleaner to remove accumulations
of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods
may cause deterioration of the wiper blades. Always use
washer fluid when using the wipers to remove salt or dirt
from a dry windshield.Avoid using the wiper blades to wipe frost or ice from the
windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of contact with
petroleum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
Windshield Washers Ð Front and Rear
On vehicles equipped with a Vehicle Information Center,
the low washer fluid level will be indicated. When the
sensor detects a low fluid level, the windshield will light
on the vehicle graphic outline and the ªWasher Fluid
Lowº message will be displayed.
The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the
rear window washer is shared. It is located in the front of
the engine compartment on the passenger side and
should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals. Fill
the reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not radia-
tor antifreeze) and operate the system for a few seconds
to flush out the residual water.
