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

IIII WINDSHIELD WASHERS
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 Displays (page 70).

AUTOLAMPS
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention. You may need to
override the system if it does not turn the
headlamps on in low visibility conditions,
for example daytime fog. When the lighting control is in the
autolamps position, the headlamps 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.
Note:
If you switch on the autolamps, you
cannot switch the high beams on until the
system turns the low beams on. INSTRUMENT LIGHTING
DIMMER
Note:
If you disconnect the battery or it
becomes discharged, the illuminated
components turn to the maximum setting. Press repeatedly or press and
hold to brighten.
A
Press repeatedly or press and
hold to dim.

DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS WARNING
The daytime running lamps system
does not activate the rear lamps and
may not provide adequate lighting
during low visibility driving conditions.
Make sure you switch the headlamps on,
as appropriate, during all low visibility
conditions. Failure to do so may result in a
crash. 59

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 160). 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
168). Protected Components

Note:
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.
Note: Manually move the wiper blades to
the midway position.
Note: The windshield wiper blades are
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.
6. When complete, switch on the wipers and they will cycle back to the park
position when you switch them off.
Replace wiper blades at least once per
year for optimum performance. ADJUSTING THE HEADLAMPS
