Windshield Washers
In the OFF position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windshield and to run the
wipers 2-3 cycles.
Use this function when the wind-
shield is dirty.
The spray and wiper operation will
continue until you release the lever.If the washer does not work, check
the washer fluid level. If the fluid level
is not sufficient, you will need to add
an appropriate non-abrasive wind-
shield washer fluid to the washer
reservoir. The reservoir filler neck is
located in the front of the engine
compartment on the passenger side.
