had been activated. SeeWasher Fluid
0 280 for information on filling the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
{Warning
In freezing weather, do not use the
washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid
can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
Clear snow and ice from the wiper
blades and windshield before using
them. If frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
Damaged blades should be replaced.
See Wiper Blade Replacement 0286.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor. See Electrical System
Overload 0291.
Wiper Parking
If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are on LO, HI, or INT, they will
immediately stop. If the windshield wiper lever is then
moved to OFF before the driver door is
opened or within 10 minutes, the
wipers will restart and move to the
base of the windshield.
If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are performing wipes due to
windshield washing or Rainsense
wipes, the wipers continue to run
until they reach the base of the
windshield.
Rainsense
If equipped, there is a sensor near the
top center of the windshield detects
the amount of water on the
windshield and controls the frequency
of the windshield wiper. To turn this
feature on or off, see
“Rain Sense
Wipers ”under Vehicle Personalization
0 145.
Keep this area of the windshield clear
of debris to allow for best system
performance.
INT : When enabled, move the
windshield wiper lever to INT. Turn
the

. Turn the band up for more
sensitivity to moisture.
. Turn the band down for less
sensitivity to moisture.
. Move the windshield wiper lever
out of the INT position to
deactivate Rainsense.
Wiper Arm Assembly Protection
If equipped with wiper arm assembly
protection, when using an automatic
car wash, move the windshield wiper
lever to OFF. This disables the
automatic Rainsense windshield
wipers.
With Rainsense, if the transmission is
in N (Neutral) and the vehicle speed is
very slow, the wipers will
automatically stop at the base of the
windshield.

when the transmission is no longer in
N (Neutral) or the vehicle speed has
increased.
Wiper-Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps
and parking lamps after the
windshield wipers have been in use
for a while. The transition time for the
lamps coming on varies based on the
wiper speed. For this feature to work,

The wiper-activated headlamps
immediately turn off when the
ignition is turned to off, or the
windshield wiper control is turned off.
Rear Camera Mirror Washer

wiper lever forward to spray washer
fluid on the Rear Camera Mirror. The
lever returns to its starting position
when released. SeeRear Camera Mirror

Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass receives its
heading and other information from
the Global Positioning System (GPS)
antenna, StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), and vehicle
speed information.
The compass system is designed to
operate for a certain number of miles
or degrees of turn before needing a
signal from the GPS satellites. When
the compass display shows CAL, drive
the vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive a GPS
signal. The compass system will
automatically determine when a GPS
signal is restored and provide a
heading again.
Clock
The time and date for the clock can be
set using the infotainment system. See
“Time/Date ”in “System“ under
“Settings ”in the infotainment manual.
Power Outlets

to plug in electrical equipment, such
as a cell phone or MP3 player.
The vehicle has three 12-volt
accessory power outlets:
.
Inside the center console storage
in front of the armrest cover.
. Inside the storage area under the
armrest cover.
. Inside the storage area on the rear

fixed so it will be ready to warn if
there is a problem.
If the light comes on while driving,
stop as soon as it is safely possible
and turn off the vehicle. Then start
the engine again to reset the system.
If the ABS light stays on, or comes on
again while driving, the vehicle needs
service. A chime may also sound when
the light comes on steady. If the ABS light is the only light on,
the vehicle has regular brakes, but the
antilock brakes are not functioning.
If both the ABS and the brake system
warning light are on, the vehicle's
antilock brakes are not functioning
and there is a problem with the
regular brakes. See your dealer for
service.
See
Brake System Warning Light 0131.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
Light
For some vehicles, this light comes on
briefly while starting the vehicle. If it
does not come on, have the vehicle
serviced.
For vehicles with the uplevel cluster,
this light may not come on when
starting the vehicle. This light is green if LKA is available
to assist.
LKA may assist by gently turning the
steering wheel if the vehicle
approaches a detected lane marking
without using the turn signal in that
direction. The LKA light will turn
amber.
This light is amber and flashes as a
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) alert,
to indicate that the lane marking has
been crossed.
See
Lane Keep Assist (LKA) 0240.
Vehicle Ahead Indicator
If equipped, this indicator will display
green when a vehicle is detected
ahead and amber when you are
following a vehicle ahead much too
closely.
