CAUTION: The rain sensor should be deactivated when washing the car in an automatic car wash, etc.
If the rain sensor function is left on, the wipers will start inadvertently in the car wash and could be
damaged.

High wiper speed
Windshield washer
Pull the lever toward you and release it. Washer fluid will be sprayed on the windshield, and the wipers
will make several sweeps across the windshield after the lever is released.
A message will be displayed in the text window when the washer fluid level is low.
CAUTION: Use ample washer fluid when washing the windshield to avoid scratching the glass.
Headlight wiper/washer (certain models)
When the lever is pulled to wash the windshield, high pressure jets mounted in the bumper will spray the
headlights.
· To conserve washer fluid in driving conditions where the windshield washers are used frequently, the
headlights will only be washed once for every five times the windshield is washed within a 10-minute
period.
· When approximately 1 US quart (1 liter) remains in the washer fluid reservoir, the rear window and
headlights will not be washed when the lever is pulled to conserve washer fluid for the windshield.
NOTE: R-models are also equipped with headlight wipers, which are activated along with the washer
function.
