Windshield Washer

There is a paddle marked with the windshield washer
symbol at the top of the multifunction lever. To spray
washer fluid on the windshield, push the paddle. The
wipers will clear the window and then either stop or
return to your preset speed.

CAUTION:

In freezing weather, don’t use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.

Rear Window Washer/Wiper

This knob is located on the
instrument panel.

To turn the rear wiper on, turn the knob to either “1”
or “2”. For long delayed wiping, turn the knob to 1.
For short delayed wiping, turn the knob to 2. To turn the
wiper off, turn the knob to 0.

To wash the window, press the knob.

The rear window washer uses the same fluid bottle as
the windshield washer. However, the rear window
washer will run out of fluid before the windshield
washer. If you can wash your windshield but not your
rear windows, check the fluid level.

For more information, see “Low Washer Fluid” in
the Index.
