NOTE:The rear wiper operates in an intermittent mode
only.
Rotate the center portion of the lever past the
first detent to activate the rear washer. The
washer pump and the wiper will continue to
operate as long as the switch is held (for a
maximum of 10 seconds). Upon release, the wiper will
continue to cycle two 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 “park”
position if power accessory delay is active. Power acces-
sory delay can be cancelled by opening the door, if this
happens the rear wiper will stop at its current position
and will not go to “park”.
Rear Window Defroster
The rear window defroster button is located on
the climate controls mode control knob. Push the
button to turn on the rear window defroster and the
heated outside mirrors (if equipped). An indicator in the
button will illuminate when the rear window defroster is
on. The rear window defroster automatically turns off
after approximately 10 minutes. For an additional five
minutes of operation, push the button a second time.
NOTE:To prevent excessive battery drain, use the rear
window defroster only when the engine is operating.
