Pull the windshield wiper/washer lever toward the steering
wheel to activate the washers. The wipers will activate auto-
matically for three cycles after the lever is released. Manual High Speed/Mist
Push the lever upward from the off position. The wipers will

passing vehicle. This operation will continue until the lever
is released. When the lever is released, the wipers will return
to the off position and automatically shut off.
Rear Wiper Operation — If Equipped
Rear Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the windshield wiper lever center ring upwards to
operate the rear window wiper as follows:
• In intermittent mode when the front window wiper is not
operating
• In synchronous mode (at half the speed of the front window wiper) when the front window wiper is operating
• In continuous mode while vehicle is in REVERSE
With the windshield wipers on, and REVERSE gear engaged,
rear window wiping will be continuous in the same way.
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 posi -
tion. If the windshield wiper control is turned off and
the blades cannot return to the off position, damage to
the wiper motor may occur.

252 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
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 twice a year,
preferably in the Fall and Spring. Apply a small amount of a
high quality lubricant, such as Mopar Lock Cylinder Lubri-
cant directly into the lock cylinder.
Windshield Wiper Blades
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the wind -
shield 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 periods may
cause deterioration of the wiper blades. Always use washer
fluid when using the wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry
windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or ice from the
windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petro -
leum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies depending 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.
