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.
L (Washer Fluid): 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.
Heated Windshield Washer
The heated windshield washer fluid system may be
used to help clear ice, snow, tree sap, or bugs from your
windshield.
The button is located in
the switchbank under the
climate controls.
Push the heated washer fluid button while the ignition is
turned on to activate the heated windshield washer
fluid system. The indicator light will flash. 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 to begin. Press the
button again to turn off the heated windshield washer
fluid system or it will automatically turn off after four
wash/wipe cycles have been completed.
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.
