WIPERS AND WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer control lever is
located on the left side of the steering column.

Windshield Wiper/Washer Lever

The front wipers are operated by rotating
a switch, located at the end of the lever.
For information on using the rear window wiper/
w a

sher, refer to “Rear Window Wiper/Washer”
in this section.
WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION
Rotate the end of the lever upward, to the
first detent past the intermittent settings for
l o

w-speed wiper operation. Rotate the end of
the lever upward to the second detent past the
intermittent settings for high-speed wiper
operation.

Front Wiper Control

NOTE:
The wipers will automatically return to the
“ p

ark” position if you place the ignition in
the OFF position while they are operating.
The wipers will resume operation when you
p l

ace the ignition in the ON position.
CAUTION!
Turn the windshield wipers off when driving
through an automatic car wash. Damage to
the windshield wipers may result if the
wiper control is left in any position other
than off.
In cold weather, always turn off the wiper
switch and allow the wipers to return to the
park position before turning off the engine.
If the wiper switch is left on and the wipers
freeze to the windshield, damage to the
wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is
restarted.
Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the off position. If the wind -
shield wiper control is turned off and the
b la

des cannot return to the off position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 45
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper system when
weather conditions make a single wiping cycle,
with a variable pause between cycles,
desirable. Rotate the end of the windshield
wiper/washer control lever to one of the first
five detents to select the desired delay interval.

Front Wiper Control

There are five delay settings, which allow you to
r e

gulate the wipe interval from a minimum of
one cycle every two seconds to a maximum of
approximately 36 seconds between cycles
at vehicle speeds below 10 mph (16 km/h).
At speeds greater than 10 mph (16 km/h),
the delay varies from a minimum of one cycle
e v

ery second to a maximum of approximately
18 seconds between cycles. NOTE:

The wiper delay times depend on vehicle speed.
I f

the vehicle is moving less than 10 mph
( 1

6 km/h), delay times will be doubled.
Windshield Washers
To use the windshield washer, push the washer
knob, located on the end of the multifunction
lever, inward to the second detent.
If you activate the washer while the wiper
co

ntrol is in the delay range, the wipers will
operate in low-speed for two or three wipe
cycles after releasing the lever and then resume
the intermittent interval previously selected.
If you activate the washer while the wiper
co
ntrol is in the off position, the wipers will
operate for two or three wipe cycles and then
turn off.
Mist Feature
Push the washer knob, located on the end of
the multifunction lever, inward to the first
detent to activate a single wipe cycle to clear
the windshield of road mist or spray from a
passing vehicle. The wipers will continue to
operate until you release the lever.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer
p u

mp; 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.
WARNING!

Sudden loss of visibility through the 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.

46 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
The rear window wiper/washer control is
located on the left side of the steering column.

Rear Wiper/Washer

Rotate the switch upward to the first
detent position for rear wiper
o p

eration.
Rotate the switch upward past the
first detent position to activate the
r e

ar washer. The washer pump will
continue to operate as long as the
switch is held. Upon release, the wiper will cycle
three times before returning to the set position.
Rear Wiper/Washer Control

If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is
p l

aced in the OFF position, the wiper will
automatically return to the “park” position.
When the vehicle is restarted, the wiper will
resume function at whichever position the
switch is set at.
CAUTION!
Turn the windshield wipers off when driving
through an automatic car wash. Damage to
the windshield wipers may result if the
wiper control is left in any position other
than off.
In cold weather, always turn off the wiper
switch and allow the wipers to return to the
park position before turning off the engine.
If the wiper switch is left on and the wipers
freeze to the windshield, damage to the
wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is
restarted.
Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the off position. If the wind -
shield wiper control is turned off and the
b la

des cannot return to the off position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.

226 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Some conditions can be caused by a faulty
component such as a belt pulley. Belt pulleys
should be carefully inspected for damage and
proper alignment.
Belt replacement on some models requires the
us

e of special tools, we recommend having your
vehicle serviced at an authorized dealer.
BODY LUBRICATION
Locks and all body pivot points, including such
items as seat tracks, door hinge pivot points
and rollers, liftgate, tailgate, decklid, sliding
doors and hood hinges, should be lubricated
periodically with a lithium based grease, such
as Mopar Spray White Lube to ensure quiet,
easy operation and to protect against rust and
wear. Prior to the application of any lubricant,
the parts concerned should be wiped clean to
remove dust and grit; after lubricating, excess
oil and grease should be removed. Particular
attention should also be given to hood latching
components to ensure proper function. When
performing other underhood services, the hood
latch, release mechanism and safety catch
should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated
t w

ice a year, preferably in the Autumn and Spring. Apply a small amount of a high quality
lubricant, such as Mopar Lock Cylinder
Lubricant directly into the lock cylinder.
WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and
the windshield periodically with a sponge or soft
cloth and a mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will
remove accumulations of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long
p
e

riods may cause deterioration of the wiper
blades. Always use washer fluid when using
the wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry
w i

ndshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or
i c

e from the windshield. Keep the blade rubber
out of contact with petroleum products such as
engine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies
d e

pending on geographical area and frequency
of use. Poor performance of blades may be
present with chattering, marks, water lines or
wet spots. If any of these conditions are
present, clean the wiper blades or replace as
necessary.
Rear Wiper Blade Removal/Installation

1. Lift the pivot cap on the rear wiper arm upward, this will allow the rear wiper blade
to be raised off of the liftgate glass.

Lifting The Pivot Cap

NOTE:
The rear wiper arm cannot be raised fully
u p

ward unless the pivot cap is raised first.
2. Li ft the rear wiper arm upward to raise the
w
iper blade off of the liftgate glass.
