WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Note:
Fully defrost the windshield before
you switch the windshield wipers on.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. If that does not resolve the
issue, install new wiper blades.
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 washers before wiping a dry
windshield.
Rotate the knob to switch on the
windshield wipers. Off.O

Note:
Do not operate the washers when
the washer reservoir is empty. This may
cause the washer pump to overheat.
Press and hold the button to spray
windshield washer fluid and switch on the
wipers. When you release the button, the
wipers turn on for three additional wipes
and then turn off.
Note: Briefly pressing the washer button
causes a single wipe without washer fluid.
When you use the washers, there is a
courtesy wipe after a short delay to clear
away any drops on the windshield. You can
switch this feature on or off. See
Information Messages (page 70).

AUTOLAMPS
WARNING
The autolamps switch position may
not activate the headlamps in all low

are switched to auto or on, as appropriate,
during all low visibility conditions. Failure
to do so may result in a crash. Note:
If you switch on autolamps, you can
switch on the high beams after the
headlamps turn on. When the lighting control is in the
autolamps position, the headlamps
automatically turn on in low light situations
or when the wipers turn on.
The headlamps remain on for a period of
time after you switch the ignition off. Use
the information display controls to adjust
the period of time that the headlamps
remain on. INSTRUMENT LIGHTING

to do so may result in a crash. To switch the system on:
For vehicles sold in the United States, the
lighting control must be in the autolamps
position. The lamps function during

FUSE SPECIFICATION CHART
Front Power Distribution Box
WARNINGS
Always disconnect the battery before
servicing high current fuses.
To reduce risk of electrical shock,
always replace the cover to the
power distribution box before
reconnecting the battery or refilling fluid
reservoirs. The front power distribution box is under
the front hood. See Under Hood
Overview (page 150). It has high-current
fuses that protect your vehicle's main
electrical systems from overloads. There
are also high current fuses next to the front
power distribution box. If replacement of
these high current fuses is required, see an
authorized dealer.
If you disconnect and reconnect the
battery, you will need to reset some
features. See Changing the 12V Battery
(page
158). Protected Components

To avoid damaging the windshield,
lift the wiper blade a few inches off the
glass and place a cloth on the windshield
under the blade.

different in length. The longer blade is on
the driver's side.
1. Disconnect the washer pipe from the wiper arm.
2. Press the release button on the top of the wiper arm where the blade
assembly attaches to the arm.
3. Pull the blade assembly away from the
arm, while rocking it from side to side
to help release it.
4. Keep the cloth in place to avoid the arm from hitting the windshield glass.
5. Install the new blade assembly and reconnect the washer pipe.
