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 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 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 DIC
Warnings and Messages on page 3-76.
