While operating your vehicle:
• Note any changes in the sound of the
exhaust or any smell of exhaust fumes
in the vehicle.
• Check for vibrations in the steering
wheel. Notice if there is any increased
steering effort or looseness in the

slightly or “pulls” to one side when
traveling on smooth, level road.
• When stopping, listen and check for
unusual sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or “hard-

• If any slipping or changes in the
operation of your transmission occurs,
check the transmission fluid level.
• Check the intelligent variable

conditioning hoses for leaks or
damage.

wiper operation. Clean wiper blades
with a clean cloth dampened with

Blade Inspection
Contamination of either the windshield
or the wiper blades with foreign matter
can reduce the effectiveness of the
windshield wiper functionality. Common
sources of contamination are insects,
tree sap, and hot wax treatments used
by some commercial car washes. If the
blades are not wiping properly, clean
both the window and the blades with a
clean cloth dampened with washer fluid.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the wiper blades,
arms or other components, do not:
• Use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near
them.
• Attempt to move the wipers
manually.
• Use non-specified wiper blades.

• Always return the wiper arms to the
windshield before driving.

resting position.
1. Within 20 seconds of turning off the
engine, lift and hold the wiper lever
up to the MIST position for about 2
seconds until the wipers move to the

the windshield.
3. Gently put the wipers back down onto
the windshield.
4. Turn the wipers to any ON position
to return the wipers to the bottom
