To operate the windshield wipers, turn the band located on the multifunction lever upward or downward.

MIST:  Turn the band to MIST for a single wiping cycle. Hold it until the windshield wipers start. Then let it go. The windshield wipers will stop after one wipe. If you want more wipes, hold the band on MIST longer.

OFF:  Turn the band to OFF to turn off the windshield wipers.

Delayed Wiping:  You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay between wipes. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The closer to LO, the shorter the delay.

LO (Low Speed):  Turn the band away from you to LO and past the delay settings for steady wiping at low speed.

HI (High Speed):  Turn the band away from you, to HI, and past the delay settings for wiping steady at high speed.

PUSH (Windshield Washer): 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.

Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If they're frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.

Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. A circuit breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.

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.

Rear Window Washer/Wiper


Object Number: 807588  Size: A3

If your vehicle has this feature, the control is located on the instrument panel to the right of the steering wheel.

To turn the rear wiper on, slide the control to either LO or HI. For delayed wiping, slide the control to LO. For steady wiping, slide the control to HI. To turn the wiper off, slide the control to OFF.

To wash the window, press the wash button located on the control. The control must be in either LO or HI.

The rear window washer uses the same fluid bottle as the windshield washer. However, the rear window washer will run out of fluid before the windshield washer. If you can wash your windshield but not your rear window, check your fluid level.
