NOTE:
The windshield wipers/washers will only op-
erate with the ignition in the ON/RUN posi-
tion.
Intermittent Wiper System
Push the lever downward to the first detent
and rotate the center ring to use one of the
four intermittent wiper settings when weather
conditions make a single wiping cycle, with a
variable delay between cycles, desirable.Low Speed
Push the lever downward to the second de-
tent. The wipers will operate at low speed.
High Speed
Push the lever downward to the third detent.
The wipers will operate at high speed.
Windshield Washer Operation
To use the washer, pull the windshield wiper/
washer lever toward the steering wheel to
activate. The wipers will activate automati-
cally for three cycles after the lever is re-
leased, and then resume the intermittent
interval previously selected.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position,
the wipers will operate for three cycles and
then turn off.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the wind-
shield could lead to a collision. You might
not see other vehicles or other obstacles.
To avoid sudden icing of the windshield
during freezing weather, warm the wind-
shield with the defroster before and during
windshield washer use.
Mist Feature
Use the Mist feature when weather condi-
tions make occasional usage of the wipers
necessary. Push the lever upward to the MIST
position and release for a single wiping cycle.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer
pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be
sprayed on the windshield. The wash func-
tion must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.Wiper Washer Lever

SCHEDULED SERVICING — GASOLINE
ENGINE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
oil change indicator system. The oil change
indicator system will remind you that it is
time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil
change indicator message will illuminate in
the instrument cluster. This means that ser-
vice is required for your vehicle. Operating
conditions such as frequent short-trips,
trailer tow, and extremely hot or cold ambient
temperatures will influence when the “Oil
Change Required” message is displayed. Se-
vere Operating Conditions can cause the
change oil message to illuminate as early as
3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset.
Have your vehicle serviced as soon as pos-
sible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change
indicator message after completing the sched-
uled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is
performed by someone other than your autho-
rized dealer, the message can be reset byreferring to the steps described under “Instru-
ment Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know

intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km),
