2008 HUMMER H2 wiper fluid

Windshield Washer
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your washer
until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer uid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
LQ(Washer Fluid):There is a paddle marked
with the windshield washer symbol at the top of
the multifunction lever. Push the paddle to spray
washer uid on the windshield. The wipers will clear
the window and then either stop or return to the
preset speed.
_(Heated Washer Fluid):If your vehicle has the
heated windshield washer uid system, it is used
to help clear ice, snow, tree sap, or bugs from your
windshield.To activate Automatic mode for de-icing, press the
heated washer button located to the left of the
steering wheel below the instrument panel brightness
control knob. Pushing the heated washer uid button
activates the heated windshield washer uid system.
This activation will initiate four heated wash/wipe cycles.
The rst heated wash/wipe cycle may take up to
40 seconds to occur, depending on outside temperature.
After the rst wash/wipe cycle, it may take up to
20 seconds for each of the remaining cycles. The heated
windshield washer uid system may be turned off at
any time by pushing the button again prior to the
completion of 4 wash/wipe cycles.
When the heated windshield washer uid system is
activated under certain outside temperature conditions,
steam may ow out of the washer nozzles for a short
period of time before washer uid is sprayed. This is
a normal condition. A message will be displayed on
the Driver Information Center (DIC) when the washer
uid is low. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 3-56.

If your vehicle has a rear window washer/wiper,
the button is located on the instrument panel to the

until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer uid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.

turn the rear wiper on and off. The wiper speed
cannot be changed.

the rear window. Release the button when enough
uid has been sprayed on the window. The rear wiper
will run a few more cycles after it is released. If the
rear wiper function was already on, prior to pressing
the wash button, it will stay on until the wiper button is
pressed again.

delayed wiping.
The rear window washer uses the same uid that is
