WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer controls are located
on the lever on the right side of the steering
column. The front wipers are operated by rotating
a switch, located on the end of the lever.

Windshield Wiper Lever

WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION
Rotate the windshield wiper knob to one of the first
two detent positions for intermittent settings, the
third detent for low wiper operation and the fourth
for high wiper operation.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and
hold. If the lever is pulled while in 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 pulled while the wipers are in the off
position, the wipers will operate for several wipe
cycles, then turn off.

3 — Rotate For Front Wiper Operation
4 — Pull For Front Washer
5 — Push Up For Mist
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.

(Continued)
in the intermittent position, no wipe cycle is
performed for safety reasons. This temporary
inhibition avoids accidental activations of the
wiping (e.g. during the hand washing of the
windshield, blocking the blades in ice/snow
conditions).
The user can activate the Rain Sensing Wipers in
three ways:
Moving the lever from the O (off) position to the
intermittent positions.
One Mist command actuation.
The vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h) and
the rain sensor detects the presence of rain.
REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the
windshield wiper lever on the right side of the
steering column. The rear wiper/washer is
operated by rotating a switch, located at the
middle of the lever.
NOTE:If the front wiper is moving and the vehicle is
shifted in REVERSE, the rear wiper will perform one
round up to clean the rear window. Rotate the center portion of the lever
upward to the first detent for intermittent
operation and to the second detent for
continuous rear wiper operation. To use the washer, push the lever
forward and hold while spray is desired. If
the lever is pushed while in the
intermittent setting, the wiper will turn on
and operate for several wipe cycles after the end of
the lever is released, and then resume the
intermittent interval previously selected.
NOTE:As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the
switch is held for more than 30 seconds. Once the
lever is released, the pump will resume normal
operation.
If the lever is pushed while the wiper is in the off
position, the wiper will operate for several wipe
cycles, then turn off.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is
placed in the OFF position, the wiper will
automatically return to the “park” position.WINDSHIELD WIPER DE-ICER —
I
F EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Windshield
Wiper De-Icer feature that may be activated under
the following conditions:
Activation By Rear Defrost — The Windshield
Wiper De-Icer will be activated automatically
when the rear defrost is turned on and the
ambient temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C).
Activation By Remote Start Operation — When
Remote Start is active and the outside ambient
temperature is less than 40°F (4.4°C), the
Windshield Wiper De-Icer will activate. Exiting
Remote Start will resume its previous operation.
If the Windshield Wiper De-Icer was active, the
timer and operation will continue.CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause
damage to the heating elements:
Use care when washing the inside of the rear
window. Do not use abrasive window cleaners
on the interior surface of the window. Use a
soft cloth and a mild washing solution, wiping
parallel to the heating elements. Labels can
be peeled off after soaking with warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or
abrasive window cleaners on the interior
surface of the window.
Keep all objects a safe distance from the
window.
CAUTION!
