Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather
conditions make a single wiping cycle with a
variable pause between cycles desirable.
Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to the
first detent position, and then turn the end of
the lever to select the desired delay interval.
There are five delay settings, which allow you to
regulate the wipe interval from a minimum of
one cycle every second to a maximum of
approximately 36 seconds between cycles. The
delay intervals will double in duration when the
vehicle speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.
Windshield Washers
To use the windshield washer, push on the end
of the lever to the second detent and hold while
spray is desired. If the lever is pushed while on
the intermittent setting, the wipers will turn on
and operate for several wipe cycles after the
lever is released, and then resume the
intermittent interval previously selected. If the
lever is pushed while the wipers are in the off
position, the wipers will operate several wipe
cycles, then turn off.
Mist Feature
Push the end of the multifunction lever inward
(toward the steering column) to the first detent
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 function must be
used in order to spray the windshield with
washer fluid.
Rear Wiper And Washer
Rotating the center ring of the wiper lever to the
first detent activates the rear intermittent
wipers. To activate the washers, rotate the
center ring fully forward and the washers will
spray until the ring is released, and then
resume the intermittent interval.
NOTE:
Rear window wipers function in the intermittent
wiper speed only.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control system allows you to
regulate the temperature, air flow, and direction
of air circulating throughout the vehicle. The
controls are located on the touchscreen (if
equipped) and on the instrument panel below
the radio.
Manual Climate Control Overview
The air conditioning and heating system is
designed to make you comfortable in all types
of weather.
