GM Service Manual Online
For 1990-2009 cars only

At the top of the multifunction lever, there's a paddle with the windshield washer symbol on it. To spray washer fluid on the windshield, push the paddle. The wipers will run for several sweeps and then either stop or return to your preset speed. The ignition key must be in ACCESSORY or RUN for this to work. See Windshield Washer Fluid .

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.

When you are low on washer fluid, a message will be illuminated in the Driver Information Center (DIC) for 60 seconds. When the ignition is turned off, a message will appear again for three seconds as a reminder that the fluid level is low. For more information on DIC messages, see DIC Warnings and Messages .

The washer fluid message will no longer display when the washer fluid reservoir has been filled.
