Heated Windshield Washer
For vehicles with the heated
windshield washer fluid system, it
can be used to help clear ice, snow,
tree sap, or bugs from the
windshield. This feature only works
with the front wiper system.
The button is located to the left
of the steering column below
the instrument panel brightness
control knob.
Press the heated washer fluid
button to activate the heated
windshield washer fluid system. This
activation begins four heated
wash/wipe cycles. The first heated
wash/wipe cycle can take up to
40 seconds to occur, depending on
outside temperature. After the
first wash/wipe cycle, it can take up
to 20 seconds for each of the
remaining cycles. The system turns
off automatically after four wipe
cycles or the button can be pressed
again to turn it off.
Under certain outside temperature
conditions, steam might flow
out of the washer nozzles for a
short period of time before washer
fluid is sprayed. This is normal.
