Windshield Washer
{
CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your washer
until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer fluid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
J
(Washer Fluid):
Press and release this paddle,
located at the top of the turn signal/multifunction lever,
to spray washer fluid on the windshield. The wipers
will clear the windshield and either stop or return to your
preset speed. For more washer cycles, press and
hold the paddle.
_
(Heated Washer Fluid):
If your vehicle is equipped,
the heated windshield washer fluid system may be
used to help clear ice, snow, tree sap, or bugs from your
windshield. Sliding the switch on the turn
signal/multifunction lever to this position and then
releasing it will activate the heated windshield washer
fluid system. This activation will initiate four heated
wash/wipe cycles. The first heated wash/wipe cycle may
take up to 40 seconds to occur, depending on outside
temperature. After the first wash/wipe cycle, it may take
up to 20 seconds for each of the remaining cycles.
The heated windshield washer fluid system may
be turned off at any time by sliding the switch on the
turn signal/multifunction lever to this position again.
When the heated windshield washer fluid system
is activated under certain outside temperature
conditions, steam may flow out of the washer nozzles
for a short period of time before washer fluid is sprayed.
This is a normal condition.
A message will be displayed on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) when the washer fluid is low. See
