for information on filling the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
Clear snow and ice from the wiper
blades before using them. If frozen

thaw them. Damaged blades should
be replaced. See Wiper Blade
Replacement 0364.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor.
{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.
{Warning
Before driving the vehicle, always
clear snow and ice from the hood,
windshield, roof, and rear of the
vehicle, including all lamps and
windows. Reduced visibility from
snow and ice buildup could lead

will immediately stop.
If the windshield wiper control is ON
then moved to OFF before the driver
door is opened or within 10 minutes,

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

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
