Windshield Wiper/Washers
Windshield Wiper Switch
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotating the switch to the Low Continuous
Wiper Speed position (2) activates the first
(low) level continuous speed of the windshield
wipers in manual mode.
Rotating the switch to the High Continuous
Wiper Speed position (1) activates the second
(high) level continuous speed of the wind-
shield wipers in manual mode.
Rain Sensors
Rotating the switch to the Low Sensitivity Rain
Sensing position (4), activates the first, less
sensitive level of the Rain Sensing function.
Rotating the switch to the High Sensitivity Rain
Sensing position (3), activates the second, more
sensitive level of the Rain Sensing function.
Refer to “Rain Sensor” in this section for more
information on how this system functions.
Windshield Washer Operation
Pull the stalk toward the steering wheel to
operate the windshield washer.
Keep the stalk pulled to activate both the
windshield washer jet and the windshield
wiper with a single movement. The wipers and
washers will continue to operate until you let
go of the stalk.
The windshield wiper stops working three
strokes after the stalk is released, followed by
a final stroke six seconds later to complete the
cycle.
Mist
Use this feature when weather conditions
make occasional usage of the wipers neces-
sary. Push the stalk upward to the MIST posi-
tion and release for a single wiping cycle. This
function is useful to remove small deposits of
dust from the windshield or morning dew.
NOTE:
This function does not activate the windshield
washer. To spray windshield washer fluid onto
the windshield, the washing function must be
used.
1 — High Continuous Wiper Speed
2 — Low Continuous Wiper Speed

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.
