50 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, push the multifunction lever
inward (toward the steering column) and hold it
for as long as washer spray is desired.
If you activate the washer while the windshield
wiper control is in the delay range, the wipers
will operate for two wipe cycles after releasing
the lever and then resume the intermittent
interval previously selected.
If you activate the washer while the windshield
wiper is turned off, the wipers will operate for
three wipe cycles and then turn off.
Mist Feature
Rotate the end of the lever downward to the
MIST position to activate a single wipe cycle to
clear off road mist or spray from a passing
vehicle. The wipers will continue to operate until
you release the multifunction lever.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer
pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed
on the windshield. The wash function must be
used in order to spray the windshield with
washer fluid.
Rain Sensing Wipers
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the wind-
shield and automatically activates the wipers
for the driver. The feature is especially useful for
road splash or over spray from the windshield
washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the end of
the multifunction lever to one of four settings to
activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with
the multifunction lever. Wiper delay position 1 is
the least sensitive, and wiper delay position 4 is
the most sensitive. Setting 3 should be used for
normal rain conditions. Settings 1 and 2 can be
used if the driver desires less wiper sensitivity.
Setting 4 can be used if the driver desires more
sensitivity. The rain sensing wipers will automati-
cally change between an intermittent wipe, slow
wipe and a fast wipe depending on the amount of
moisture that is sensed on the windshield. Place
the wiper switch in the OFF position when not
using the system.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision.
You might not see other vehicles or other
obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster before and
during windshield washer use.
