NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving less than 10 mph (16 km/h), delay times will be doubled.
Windshield Washer Operation
To use the washer, push on the end of the lever (toward the steering wheel) and hold while
spray is desired. If the lever is pushed while in the intermittent setting, the wipers 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.
If the end of the lever is pushed while the wipers are in the off position, the wipers will
operate for several wipe cycles, then turn off.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could lead to a collision. You might not
see other vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the windshield during
freezing weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before and during windshield
washer use.
Mist
Use the Mist feature when weather conditions make occasional usage of the wipers
necessary. Rotate the end of the lever downward to the MIST position and release for a
single wiping cycle.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be
sprayed on the windshield. The wash function must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.
Rain Sensing Wipers — If Equipped
This feature senses moisture on the windshield and automatically activates the wipers for
the driver. The feature is especially useful for road splash or overspray from the windshield
washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to one of four
settings to activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with the multifunction lever. Wiper delay
position one is the least sensitive, and wiper delay position four is the most sensitive.
Setting three should be used for normal rain conditions. Settings one and two can be used
if the driver desires less wiper sensitivity. Setting four can be used if the driver desires
more sensitivity. Place the wiper switch in the OFF position when not using the system.
NOTE:
• The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when the wiper switch is in the low or
high-speed position.
• The Rain Sensing feature may not function properly when ice, or dried salt water is
present on the windshield.
