similar to an ignition switch. It has four oper -
ating positions: three with detents and one
that is spring-loaded. The detent positions
are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The START
position is a spring-loaded momentary contact position. When released from the

NOTE:
If the ignition switch does not change with
the push of a button, the key fob may have a
low or depleted battery. In this situation, a
back up method can be used to operate the
ignition switch. Put the nose side (side oppo -
site of the emergency key) of the key fob
against the START/STOP ignition button and
push to operate the ignition switch.

Do not operate the windshield wipers with
the blades lifted from the windshield. Windshield Washer Operation
Pull the lever rearward toward you and hold
for as long as spray is desired.
Mist

Use the Mist feature when weather conditions
make occasional usage of the wipers necessary.
Push the lever upward to the MIST position 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.
CAUTION!

Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the PARK position. If the
windshield wiper switch is turned off, and the
blades cannot return to the PARK position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.

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.
