Washing function
–
Move the right-side steering wheel lever
toward the wheel to start the windshield and
headlight washers.
> After the lever is released the wipers
make several extra sweeps.
CAUTION
•
Use ample washer fluid when washing
the windshield. The windshield should be
thoroughly wet when the wipers are in
operation.
•
Avoid using the washers if the fluid reser-
voir is frozen or empty to help avoid dam-
age to the pump.
When the washing system is used, the length of
time that the windshield washers operate
depends on the ambient temperature. In cold
weather, the amount of washer fluid used will
also be increased automatically to help improve
cleaning.
Heated washer nozzles
*
The washer nozzles are heated automatically in
cold weather to help prevent the washer fluid
from freezing.
High-pressure headlight washing *
High-pressure headlight washing consumes a
large quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid, the
headlights are washed once for every five times
the windshield is washed.
Reduced washing
When approx. 1 US quart (1 liter) of washer fluid
remains in the reservoir, the headlights will no
longer be washed to conserve fluid.
