When you activate the windshield
washer with the headlights turned
on, the headlight washer will be
activated under certain conditions.
For more information, see

section in the next column.

The headlight washers use the same
fluid reservoir as the windshield
washers.

The headlight washers can be
operated at any time by pressing the
headlight washer button located next
to the steering wheel column. The
headlights must be turned on to use
this button. In addition, the headlight
washer will automatically turn on at
the first time you turn on the
windshield washers while the
ignition switch is in the ON (II)
position.

Models equipped with the
keyless access system have an
engine start/stop button instead
of an ignition switch. ON Mode
is the equivalent of ON (II). For
more information, see pages
