Windshield Washer
{
CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer fluid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
J
(Washer Fluid): Press and release this
paddle, located at the top of the turn signal/
multifunction lever, to spray washer fluid on the
windshield. The wipers will clear the windshield and
either stop or return to your preset speed. For more
washer cycles, press and hold the paddle.
_
(Heated Washer Fluid): If your vehicle is
equipped, the heated windshield washer fluid
system may be used to help clear ice, snow, tree
sap, or bugs from your windshield. Sliding the
switch on the turn signal/multifunction lever to this
position and then releasing it will activate the
heated windshield washer fluid system. This
activation will initiate four heated wash/wipe cycles.
The first heated wash/wipe cycle may take up
to 40 seconds to occur, depending on outside
temperature. After the first wash/wipe cycle,
it may take up to 20 seconds for each of the
remaining cycles. The heated windshield washer
fluid system may be turned off at any time by sliding
the switch on the turn signal/multifunction lever to
this position again.
When the heated windshield washer fluid system
is activated under certain outside temperature
conditions, steam may flow out of the washer
nozzles for a short period of time before washer
fluid is sprayed. This is a normal condition.
A message will be displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) when the washer fluid is
low. See
DIC Warnings and Messages on
page 239 .
