Press the end
of the stalk:
•

the wipers without washer fluid.
•
a quick press and hold: the
wipers will swipe three times with
washer fluid.
•
a long press and hold: the wipers and washer fluid will be activated for
up to ten seconds.
Note:
Do not operate the washer when the washer reservoir is empty.
This may cause the washer pump to overheat. Check the washer fluid
level frequently. Do not operate the wipers when the windshield is dry.
This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades and cause the wiper
motor to burn out. Before operating the wiper on a dry windshield,
always use the windshield washer. In freezing weather, be sure the wiper
blades are not frozen to the windshield before operating the wipers.
Courtesy wipe feature:
One extra wipe will occur a few seconds after
washing the front window to clear any excess washer fluid remaining on
the windshield. This feature can be enabled/disabled through the
message center. Refer to
Message center
in the
