Dashboard Instruments and Controls
Wipers and Washers
Control
The multifunction lever is located on
the left side of the steering column.
The multifunction lever operates the
wipers and washers acting on the
windshield and on the window of the
liftgate when the ignition device is
placed in
RUN or ACC position.
The windshield washer and headlight
washer (if foreseen) share the same
fluid reservoir, and a low fluid level
is indicated by the same warning
light
and by the message on the
instrument cluster.
To refill the fluid, see “Maintenance
Procedures” in section “Maintenance
and Care”.
CAUTION!
•
Turn the washer acting on the
windshield and on the window of
the liftgate wipers off when driving
through an automatic car wash. The
windshield wipers may be damaged
if the wiper control is left in any
position other than “OFF”.
• In cold weather, always turn off the
wiper switch and allow the wipers to
return to the park position before
turning off the engine. If the wiper
switch is left on and the wipers
freeze to the windshield and/or to
the window of the liftgate, the wiper
motor may be damaged when the
vehicle is restarted.
•
Always remove any buildup of snow
that prevents the wiper blades from
returning to the off position. If the
wiper control is turned off and the
blades cannot return to the off
position, the wiper motor may be
damaged.
Windshield Wipers
• Rotate the end of the multifunction
lever to one of the four settings to
activate the automatic intermittent
setting (see “Rain Sensing Windshield
Wipers” paragraph in this chapter).
• For low speed wiper operation
(stable position "LO"): rotate the end
of the multifunction control lever
forward to the first trigger after the
intermittent setting.
• Rotate to the second trigger after the
intermittent setting for high-speed
(stable position HI) wiper operation.
• Rotate the end of the lever backward
to the “MIST” position to activate
a single wipe cycle. The wipers will
continue to operate until you release
the multifunction lever.
• To turn the wipers off rotate the
lever to “OFF”.
Rain Sensing Windshield
Wipers ( )
This function detects moisture on the
windshield through an internal rear-
view mirror integrated sensor, which
automatically activates the relative
wipers.
