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.
Pull the windshield wiper lever toward you to spray
washer fluid on the windshield. The wipers will run for
a few cycles to clear the windshield. For more wash
cycles, pull the lever forward and hold.
Heated Windshield Washer
If your vehicle has the Rainsense™ windshield wiper
system, the windshield washer fluid is heated. For more
information about Rainsense™ wipers, see Rainsense™
II Wipers on page 3-9. The heated windshield washer
only works with the front wiper system, not the rear
wiper system. This feature helps to clear ice, snow,
tree sap, or bugs from the windshield.
The heated windshield washer fluid system
automatically turns on when the windshield washer
fluid is used while the rear window defogger is on.
For more information about the rear window defogger,
see Automatic Climate Control System on page 3-18.
This activation begins four heated wash/wipe cycles.
The first heated wash/wipe cycle can take up to
40 seconds to occur, depending on outside temperature.
After the first wash/wipe cycle, it can take up to
20 seconds for each of the remaining cycles.
When the heated windshield washer fluid system is
activated under certain outside temperature conditions,
steam might flow out of the washer nozzles for a
short period of time before washer fluid is sprayed.
This is a normal condition.
