WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Note:Fully defrost the windshield in icy conditions before turning on
the windshield wipers.
Rotate the end of the control away
from you to increase the speed of
the wipers. Rotate toward you to
decrease the speed of the wipers.
Press the stalk down and release for
a single swipe of the wipers.
Speed Dependent Wipers (If Equipped)
The wiper speed will adjust with the vehicle speed when intermittent
wipe is selected. A faster vehicle speed will result in a shorter time
between wipes.
RAIN-SENSING WIPERS (IF EQUIPPED)
Note:Wet road conditions may result in inconsistent or unexpected
wiping or smearing. Lower the sensitivity, switch to normal or high-speed
wiping or turn the wipers off to reduce smearing.
Note:Turn off the wipers before entering a car wash.
Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity to one of the interval
moisture settings. The wipers will
not cycle until moisture is detected
on the windshield. The wiper speed
will vary based on the amount of
moisture detected on the windshield
and the sensitivity setting. The
wipers will continue to wipe as long as moisture is detected.
This feature can be turned on or off using the information display.
Keep the outside of the windshield clean, especially the area around the
interior mirror where the sensor is located, or sensor performance may
be affected.

WINDSHIELD WASHERS
Note:Do not operate the wipers on a dry windshield. This may scratch
the glass, damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper motor to burn out.
Always use the windshield washer before wiping a dry windshield.
Note:Do not operate the washer when the washer reservoir is empty.
This may cause the washer pump to overheat.
Press the end of the stalk to
activate the washer.
•A brief press causes the wipers to swipe three times with washer fluid.
•A long press and hold will activate the wipers and washer fluid for up
to 10 seconds.
A wipe will occur a few seconds after washing to clear any remaining
washer fluid. This feature can be turned on and off in the information
display.
REAR-WINDOW WIPER AND WASHERS
Rotate the control to select:
2 — Intermittent operation
(shortest pause between wipes).
1 — Intermittent operation (longest
pause between wipes).
0 — Off.
Rotate and hold the control to either the top or bottom position to
activate the rear washer. The control will return to the 2 or 0 position
when you release it.
The rear wiper will automatically turn on to intermittent when you shift
into R (Reverse) if the front wipers are activated. This feature may be
enabled or disabled in the information display.

AUTOLAMPS
WARNING:In severe weather conditions, it may be necessary to
switch your headlamps on manually.
Note:If the vehicle is equipped with autolamps, it will have the
windshield wiper rainlamp feature.When the windshield wipers are
turned to low- or high-speed wiping during daylight, and the headlamp
control is in the autolamp position, the exterior lamps will turn on after a

sensitive automatic on-off control of
the exterior lights normally

daytime and night time dimming.
Note:If the battery is disconnected, discharged, or a new battery is
installed, the dimmer will set the illuminated components to the
maximum setting automatically.
