Windshield Washers To use the washer on the windshield,
push the end of the multifunction
lever inward (toward the steering
column) and hold it as long as washer
spray is desired.
If you activate the washer while the

wipers will operate for two wipe
cycles after releasing the lever and
then resume the previously selected

windshield has warmed up. If it has
not warmed up, the liquid could
freeze on the glass and block your
view.

windshield 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
windshield with the defroster
before and during windshield
washer use.
