Information
If there is heavy accumulation of snow or
ice on the windshield, defrost the wind-
shield for about 10 minutes, or until the
snow and/or ice is removed before using
the windshield wipers to ensure proper
operation.
If you do not remove the snow and/or ice
before using the wiper and washer, it may
damage the wiper and washer system.
Windshield Washers
In the OFF position, pull the lever gently
toward you to spray washer fluid on the
windshield and to run the wipers 1-3
cycles. The spray and wiper operation
will continue until you release the lever. If
the washer does not work, you may need
to add washer fluid to the washer fluid
reservoir.

To prevent possible damage to the
washer pump, do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty.

when the engine is running and the shift
lever is in the R (Reverse) position.
This is a supplemental system that pro-
vides a view of the area behind the vehi-

vehicle is in the R (Reverse) position. Always keep the camera lens clean.
The camera may not work normally if
the lens is covered with dirt or snow.
NOTICE
NOTICE
When the outside temperature is
below freezing, ALWAYS warm the
windshield using the defroster to
prevent the washer fluid from freez-
ing on the windshield and obscur-
ing your vision which could result
in an accident and serious injury or
death.
WARNING
The Rear View Camera is not a safe-
ty device. It only serves to assist
the driver in identifying objects
directly behind the middle of the
vehicle. The camera does NOT
cover the complete area behind the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never rely solely on the Rear
View Camera when backing-up.
ALWAYS look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are no
objects or obstacles before mov-
ing the vehicle in any direction to
prevent a collision.
Always pay close attention when
the vehicle is driven close to
objects, particularly pedestrians,
and especially children.

Blade Inspection
Contamination of either the windshield or
the wiper blades with foreign matter can
reduce the effectiveness of the wind-
shield wiper functionality. Common
sources of contamination are insects,
tree sap, and hot wax treatments used by
some commercial car washes. If the
blades are not wiping properly, clean
both the window and the blades with a
clean cloth dampened with washer fluid. To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, arms or other components, do
not:
Use gasoline, kerosene, paint thin-
ner, or other solvents on or near
them.
Attempt to move the wipers manual- ly.
Use non-specified wiper blades.
Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by auto-
matic car washes have been known to
make the windshield difficult to clean.
Blade Replacement
When the wipers no longer clean ade-
quately, the blades may be worn or
cracked, and require replacement.
To prevent damage to the wiper arms
or other components, do not attempt
to move the wipers manually.
The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper malfunc-
tion and failure.
