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): The heated
windshield washer fluid system, if your vehicle has
this feature, 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.
Washer Fluid Low Add Fluid will be displayed on
the Driver Information Center (DIC) when the
washer fluid is low. See DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 221.
